Doesn't explain why you screwed the replacement on off-center

Or explain why you didn't replace both so they match

I was skint, away from home and dashed to halfrauds during lunch time at work...and because the old front plate used sticky pads to stick on I thought it would be better to get it drilled and screwed (as wrong as that sounds :eek:

). Halfrauds dude did it.

It can't be that off centred...no one else has ever noticed since it was replaced.

You've centered it to just before the space between R545 and NWT, which obviously isn't the center of the plate

Green rectangles are the exact same size.

Thanks.

Spent quite a bit over the past year sorting various little niggles here, there and everywhere. Last thing really is this - I hate rust so very, very much.

Don't need filler. Just need to get it back to bare metal and try and get it sprayed so it matches the paintwork...it's been something I've been putting off for ages and it is bobbling on the outside now so it's a problem.

mind you......if your going to do it properly then it should last.

Well yeah, I've been told that I could even underseal that part after to avoid it ever happening in the near future. Only thing is I will have to remove my sticker on the door and what will happen then I don't know, faded/damage the paint underneath?

Never posted in Motors before, decide to start with a picture of your car, but it's a shocking blurry photo and the car is...

a Nissan GT-R?!

Princey · 25 Sep 2011 at 00:46

Lol, I was just about to post that exact same thing. You obviously have an intrest in cars to purchase a £60,000 car and get it wrapped too, yet you've never posted here in 2 and a half years. :confused:

mrk · 25 Sep 2011 at 00:46

What.
