Front Number Plate Holder - Discount Code: "Mustang6G" @ LakinPlates

[RSPEC-015]

I notice that Philip recommends that you allow the double sided tape to sit for thirty minutes after attachment before you screw on the plates/Kingpins - did you do this Ian?

Hi Drew,

Once I drilled the pilot holes I put the screws in and gave each a couple of turns.

I lifted the backing slightly on each circular double sided tape spacers, just to make it easier to remove. Then I held the bracket and put the screws in but i didn't tighten them up, I left enough room to slip my fingers in to remove the tape backing.

Once I did that I held the bracket, lined it up square and pushed it to fix the tape keeping the pressure on for a minute or so. These brackets are so well made they just sit perfectly while you tighten the screws up.

The other thing to watch for are the Kingpin covers, you need to make sure the number plate pushes snugly into the recess on the bottom. This makes it easier to line up the cover and number plate holes with the backing bracket, especially for the front.

You get a real thrill when you see them installed, they are for sure a quality product.

Thanks all for the constructive criticism and fitting advice, have taken it all on board.

Spoke to Philip tonight and I'm confident that the dealer's efforts will be totally concealed once the Lakin brackets are installed.

Bump for this, would like to see how the 134mm plates look on the front bar. preferably on Lakin mount, however, any pics of the 134mm plate on S550 appreciated.

Yeah mate they are perfect. The Lakin/Kingpin "bend" adds that little bit of extra style - very refined and solid as a rock.

Also happy that they completely covered the dealership's uninvited drilling exploits.

:doh:

As far as I am aware they are legal.
A number plate has to be mounted on a car front & back. Even a so called "normal mounted numberplate" is not permanent - as it can be removed by unscrewing the screws.

And I dont think we need to weld number plates onto a car.

I like the Vic Mustang plates but have a feeling that the front plate is just too big.

Do they let you mix and match with slimline plates?

For those wondering what a 'trimmed' Sto N Sho looks like with smallish slimline plates:

More pictures and thoughts after I get back on top of work and life which has been temporarily put on hold due to the new baby in my life haha

It's so good. I love it.
