Title: 105 Coupe Front Number Plate Brackets
Post by: dfrye on July 11, 2016, 07:42:25 AM

Can someone tell me if these little Z channel number plate brackets (of which one is half missing and the other half mangled) are standard, and if so is there a source for them?

I've never had them on any of my cars, any reason you want to stand the number plate off the bumper like that? Maybe someone put them their so they didn't have to drill holes in the bumper to line up the plate, although I don't know why you wouldn't just drill the plate then?
But no, don't think they are standard
Cheers

Never seen them before either. Look very home made from the picture.

Should look like the one on this pic (or a variation of - have seen a few different versions over the years).

This is for the later 'harder edged' bumpers on the 105's not the earlier 'rounder' bumpers, if you know what I mean!

Cheers.

Not standard - it's been done to space the plate forward of the recess in the front bar - if you don't do something to space it forward, doing up the plate screws bends the sides of the plate forward.
