Hi All
So I ordered some personalised Euro plates for my new Astra Sport and finally went to the dealer today to get them fitted (along with my sill plates and OPC peddles) and we came across an interesting issue.
I opted for the full size Euro plates (because I love them) but there is an issue with the front one and the front parking sensors - the plate sets them off. The dealer mounted the plate on the plinth so the plate isn't bent to mould to the bumper.
Does anyone out there have full size Euro plates and have found a solution to this problem? The dealer is looking for me too.
So far the solutions are:
Remove the plinth and screw the plate directly into the bumper but we don't know if this will solve the issue and I'll then have holes in my bumper
Get a slimline euro plate but god knows how much VicRoads will charge me for this (can't see on the website). Given I've already spent $695 I don't really want to spend more.
Any ideas, pointers or solutions would be appreciated.
Cheers
Michael.
