Number plates on a lean.

[ollieboy]

This has come to an all time low.

Look at this:
The vehicle is actually made so the number plate has to be mounted on a lean.

gangsta leaaaaaaaaaan

Actually MiniTrucking is where the whole "Angled Plate" thing originates from, so it's hardly a new low, they've been doing it for a number of years

Is it just me, or does that picture look incredibly....fake?

Nope, its very much just you.

[Silent Knight]

Nope, I'd have to agree...that picture does look somewhat fake to me.

Actually, it has stemmed from honda drivers wanting to lose as much weight as possible. One less bolt holding the front and rear plates on is a 50% weight loss in number plate bolts.
Some times you can substitute the bolts for cable ties for an even greater weight saving. (approx 85% weight saving!)

Personally I don't mind frenched plates on angles, it's the whole just take a bolt out thing that I don't like. And it looks to be ONBAGS, which isn't fake

Take a look at the shadows underneath it... unless it has some crazy perspex tray.

Or no tray

Fool - they tray normally gets half removed so the diff + axles have somewhere to go. Mates ute is setup like that. Can also be used to dig up roads (skid plates = funny). Picture looks quite legit to me

Removing a numberplate bolt is like moving the front number plate to the side, removing the rear spoiler, painting wheels matt black etc - they're all great free modifications for those who have a $10,000 car, but since its financed to the hilt there isn't actually money to be spent doing it up

[Timmo]

I reckon im going to start up a shop selling these type of 'modifications'

For a low, low price ill remove a couple of your number plate bolts, recline your seat, tape some glow-sticks under your car ("awwwww choice neons bro!") shoot some bullet holes in the side of your car (much better than those 'fake' bullet hole stickers) and plaster the side of your car with 'performance stickers'

After my makeover you will be a hit with all the 'hoes' and may even be allowed to turn your cap around an extra 20 degrees to the rear.

Word.

VTEK for life gangsta!

[86_rolla]

ahaha yea i mean on SOME utes it looks alright if done properly. But the whole take my number plate bolt out ughhhhhhhh

[ollieboy]

Doesn't look real my ass: http://www.thedropshop.co.nz/



Thats why it looks see through, cos it is.

If you look on other parts of that site other than the homepage there are parts where the number plate is clearly visible while on the homepage its blanked out.

[wtfdvs]

it has been photoshopped to look nicer

[CozmoNz]

To look nicer? its freaking primer grey! how can you call that "nice"

[B1NZ]

Whats the point of having a ute if you cant put anything in it? GHEY!!

exactly, a mate of mine got his double cab navara bagged and he made the dudes put everthing under the tray, so he could use it! alot of custom shit but worth it.

[slighty_looney]

well now iv seen it all, saw a evo in palmy today, he had the front number plate in his window (on a angle) his back number plate with 1 screw on a angle and his revision mirror on a angle aswell, now that is ghaystar hard

[deaf_rattle]

there is a big difference between having your number plate flush mounted into your ute on an angle and just tilting your plate.

it can look pretty cool on a ute when they put the effort into doin something a little bit different and kinda unique to mini trucks.. but seeing young guys out in their bog standard cars with their number plate on a lean is just stupid
