captain Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 I want to replace the JDM front plate with OEM. I've looked at the fixings and it appears that the whole nose needs to come off to replace as I can't get to the rear of the screws holding it in place. Is this right? Has anybody else done this and does a UK-style plate fit with the existing holes. Also, I want to get rid of the rear burger. Lots of people talk about removing the Fairlady logo but that's nuts IMO. One of the best bits on the car. Is the burger just glued on and can be removed with WD40, dental loss/fishing line and a hair-dryer? Does it leave any marks? Quote
Stew Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 Search is your friend. A lot of people put the front plate straight onto the bumper for a cleaner look. The Zed coupe has a couple of holes on the back for the burger, the roadster doesn't. Quote
captain Posted February 17, 2010 Author Posted February 17, 2010 Thanks Stew. Search is my friend but I couldn't find a complete idiot's guide to the front plate question or what was underneath the rear burger. I shall try again but this time with patience. Quote
kris Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Was wondering this myself, will soon be getting rid of the ugly JDM front plate holder in order to fit the plate straight to the bumper. Hope it isn't a bumper off job. Struggling to find answers with the search. Also need the same onfo on the JDM rear plate replacement. Can't seem to find a simple way of removing it... Quote
captain Posted February 23, 2010 Author Posted February 23, 2010 I think it is a nose off job but that's not a problem as I've bought a black aluminium grille so it's coming off anyway. The grille is only £15 so if it's a mod-u-like why not kill 2 birds with one stone viewtopic.php?f=38&t=31534 Quote

Was at the bodyshop at the time so didn't think to ask about taking off the plate holder while they were there. Ballache! Quote
captain Posted February 26, 2010 Author Posted February 26, 2010 Still looking for an idiot's guide or link to removing the front bumper/nose. Quote
