my shell doesnt have the 4 holes for the rear number plate surround it just has 2 holes were the number plate screws through and the surround is held on by them, its a bit wobly

i had to snap the 4 studs off my surround to get it to fit as my old shell had these 4 holes.

old shell was an E plate New one is an F

my mates shell is an E plate and the ghia i took my latest surround off was a K plate.

do the base model sierras not have these holes ? the reason i aks is ive noticed my boot was originally red and it has occured to me that if the car had a rear ender then the rear panel may not be a cossie one.

what u lot reckon ?

 

Craig,

I could ask my mate about why the boot was red?? if ya want

 

please do mate

the car is straight and as far as i know not even the bufty ryan noticed this so im not that bothered i just want a number plate surround that fits right

i have all the documentation for the car and if it was ever in a shunt it was not recorded and there were no receipts for it.

 

cut & shut!?

 

lewis

least mines still on the road tho

 

least my surround fitted right!

 

thats it.. i remember now. No need to ask him.

Right, about a month before he sold it, we were properly going some round an industrial estate, like you do lost it on a sharp bend and totally fooked the rear of the car up.. managed to get a few bits from the local scrappy as a bodge repair job.. were red, got them painted tho. alright, just to sell the car on. Thought it was a total loss.. as its twisted the shell.. look closer






























naaa, just winding ya.. just sent him a text, so will let you know

 

pmsl @ westy!

 

right reason for different boot lid is cos the old one had abit of rust above the lock so got a mint one off of Spadge, then sprayed up

 

so does anyone know of any difference in the rear number plate surrounds ?

 

rear pannel are diffrent between 2wd and 4wd

 

I had to snap the lugs of my surround and use trim tape aswell

 

tony are they still available ?

glad to hear my baby hasnt been in a shunt

 

still avab mate but no worth welding in a new rear pannel.
do like gurne said snap the lugs off

 

thats what i have done but it wobbles

i may try supergluing some rubber washers or something on the back of it lol

 

lmao!

Craig use some decent stick pads!

If u aint got any pop round i got some!

but once they r on there they aint coming off!

 

thas cool i got the rear lights off that other saph no more leaks for me

 

craig you really should no buy now your car is to clean to be a cossie lol 1.8 L

Glad you asked this Craig, as my old 2wd had the four holes for the surround, but my rally shell doesn't.
