The bootlid has holes for screws at the bottom of a normal size plate doesn't it?

I'd go slimline for the front and normal sized for the back.

I think in NSW that's what RTA states how you should have them ... the larger plate on the back (so the bloody speed cameras can read it ... hee hee)

I have slimline on front and large rear. Slimline on rear looks crap as space designed for large(normal plate).

In nsw you can only get slimline on the front and normal at the rear.

I have large plates on the front and on the back, I personally don't like the slimline plates at all I think they look a little squished. In my avatar you can see the way the large plates look on the front and in this picture you can see how they look on my sexy rear end.

They are for WA ... custom plates are allowed up to 13 characters from memory on the plastic plates.

I was most impressed that hubby fitted my front number plate without putting holes in the bumper. It has been on there for over 2 years now without any hassels, yes I was a doubting Thomas who said it would fall off the first time I hit a bump. Not the best photo but still you can see no screws.

I have custom slimline black on white plates.
All the pics on the computer have the content of the plates edited out though. When I bought the car it had standard issue black on yellow plates. I didn't like them.

no dont get slim line ones, just get normal size, and no they dont have bottom drill holes they only have two at the font and two in the rear, for the front you will need to drill two extra's holes. or just leave it how it is like i did
