a "Euro plate" what type of car do you think your driving


You can try putting plugs in there that match the color of your car

racing stripes would also cover it up and make your car look better

buy a new front bumper lots of people upgrade ot the gt pretty sure you could pick a v6 up for prett
I probably will end up putting plugs in.. Or get them filled in by a body shop. What I meant by a "Euro Plate" was a license plate that is only half the width.. Like these ones on the top left.. It's an option I guess.

I don't know why Ford would make a spot for a plate on the V6 bumper and not on the V8 bumper.. I guess it's just Ford being normal. haha. I never really noticed it before but now it really is starting to bug me!

Ihad a local body shop fill and paint mine for about $80 - looks like the holes were never there...

Nick
Do you know what they did to fill the holes?
They glued a piece of plastic to the inside of the bumper and used bondo to cover the holes. I had the holes filled over a year ago, and it still looks like holes were never there. In my opinion, the plugs don't look very good, which is why I went the body shup route.

Yeah if it's not too expensive I would go the body shop route also.

I love my dealer, when my car came in they said "We left the tag off the front, we figured you wouldn't want us to screw through your bumper."
Any other dealer would have mindlessly screwed their ugly plate through my brand new bumper.

The plugs don't look very good IMO, but they're better than holes. Body shop would look the best though for sure.

I definatly have a mindless dealer then! I could't believe they did it! And what really makes me uneasy is they do that to EVERY vehicle on their lot.. Front license plate bracket or not! At least I have a spot on my bumper for a license plate- the GT's don't. We don't need front plates up here in Saskatchewan.

Saskatchewan? That's in Canada right?
I bet you're cold. [8D]
Can you drive your stang up there in the winter?

Hockey is a very cool sport BTW...
I'm best friends with the coach of the Nashville Predators.

Yes, Saskatchewan is in Canada.. We are right above Montana. And yes.. It is freaking cold here- we don't live in igloos but metaphorically speaking I guess we could! I am so choked each year when the snow falls because it means that I have to park my beloved for the winter. It is almost impossible to drive my stang in the winter. I have done it a few times this winter just to make sure everything was ok and I was taking my life in my hands doing it! I wish I lived in a place that wasn't so cold and I could wear shorts and a t-shirt everyday and drive my car.. Thats sweet that you are friends with him! I'll bet that gets you into alot of games for free! I am a HUGE Calgary Flames fan! Been one since I was a kid.. Unlike most people who became fans from jumping on the bandwagon when they made a '04 Stanley Cup run.
