 |
|
I actually have no idea what they're called, but im talking about these:
I'm not a big fan, I like these.
I know its a petty issue, and it will never stop me from loving these cars, and theres probably a thread about it and I just don't know how to search properly, but is there a conversion for this? Thanks!
P.S: It seems that I found my dream 931. Im so excited. |

You can usually get those for about $100 new. You just want to check the width and depth before you get them. They should also come with a kit to relocate the license plate.

It's Ok... I should have known to put the source before I posted. As soon as I find them I'll send you a link.

This is an example of the 'accessory' stage! In the jeep 'off road' world, that encompasses big Hella lamps on the front bumper or on roof rack. Crap that gets knocked off by the first tree branch on the trail. Uffie-man save your pfennigs for WURs, AAVs, DITCs, Lamdbas, turbos, spark plugs, wires, caps, rotors, shocks, strut inserts, brake pads, rotors, air filters, fuel filters, gas, oil, underwear when it goes too fast for ya.

Ah... you want to 'remove' the center logo light fixture and replace it with the license plate! Looking at that second picture that's a euro plate because the US plates are so much smaller.

Yup thats right, that look is so much cleaner, but hey beggers can't be choosers so i'd still be happy with a center light fixture |

Pelican parts have the license plate bracket. (if you want the US style) part # 928-701-050-03-m321. Costs $15.50 +tax.
Unbolt the ugly and bolt up the normal. Of course you will be left with some holes in the bodywork and bumper. I'm sure you can plug up the holes with something and touch up in body colour.
Hope this helps, and good luck with the 931. Can't stop driving mine, i love it.
