Toms Supra Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Am I the only one with these horrible black chunks of plastic on my rear bumper? I dont remember seeing any other sup with them on! I took one off today but there is a big hole behind it! What are they there for? Shame I cant remove them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 I want some silver ones really, I think Miami-GT do them - mght be someone else. I've got nothing on mine but there are nasty looking gaps each side of the number plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 No, you're not the only one, I've got them too. I happen to quite like them, beats having to have a massive rear plate to cover the big hole. Seen a number of other cars with them too.

Toms Supra Posted January 15, 2005 Author Share Posted January 15, 2005 Yeh might take them to bodyshop and colour code them. So many pics of sups i have seen dont have them nor the holes? I dunno why? I dont see the point in them lol! Unless it was something to do with the Jap number plates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Oxy's had his colour coded red, doesn't look too bad IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraJames Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 I believe they are where the cars old plate the smaller square jap plates are removed and they have to fill the gap somehow, my UK spec back bumper is all moulded and just has enough small to fit the long UK plates..! Should not be a problem to get them sorted though..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesG Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 I would just get an oversized plate. That's what most supras seem to have. I had to measure the gap quite carefully to get the plate dimensions right though. http://www.compsoc.man.ac.uk/~jamesg/albums/supra/IMG_3599.sized.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 The UK bumper is different to a JDM bumper. For some reason, the JDM one has a large hole, but you can get a number plate to cover it without those big black blobs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 I made a grey plastic frame with the BLITZ logo to make the size of plate less obvious. http://www.david.c.c.btinternet.co.uk/Resources/suprastar1h.jpeg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
