    NSW European Plates

    Not sure if I put this in the correct section, but anyway..
    I'm planning on getting Euro plates for my Astra G, does anyone know if the plates come pre-drilled? I can see how the front plates get mounted, but on the rear, I have 'plugs' in the holes where the plate would be screwed in..

    Anyone know anything about this? or has got Euro plates?

    I looked at the euro plates but stayed with the premiums.

    To get any plate to sit right i had to drill them and use a screw cover.

    My car has plastic adaptor plates/spacers for the number plates. You screw the plastic to the car in slotted holes, etc, then the numberplate to the plastic using the normal holes that are on the adaptor, and suit the standard numberplate locations. I do only have NSW slimlines, but any plate should go on them.

    My mate just bought a set of these for his XR5

    They are rego plate adaptors, and they are based in QLD:

    They make different sizes for different plates and u can't see it either

    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    I've got Vic. Euro plates and they are pre drilled - AFAIK all plates will be pre-drilled unless they come factory fitted with a covering frame (eg. like my signature series plates etc.) in which case they have pre drilled holes on their mounting frame/s Click here to enlarge

    You can either use the plug positions - if they match up - or drill alternative holes, just make sure to rust and/or water proof them by using heavy grease or cold galv. type products...
