Are Rover 75 Boot Lids Pre-drilled

PaulPJ · 6th August 2009, 07:12

Hi Chaps, I want to change the rear number plate as it has the standard plate and I want to replace it with the larger rover shaped one. Are the boot lids pre-drilled for fixing plates as most I have seen are screwed on where as my current plate is fixed on with sticky pads. Do Demon Plates have the 75 & ZT club logo? Cheers Paul

Tbh most owners use the sticky pads to fix the no. plates.
Drilling holes in the boot can cause rusting to that area.

I ordered a set of plates from Demon last week requesting the addition of the club logo etc., they have yet to be delivered.

Cheers

Hi Graham,

Did you have the logo added to your plate? Also on the packing note was there an address? Might go and pay them a visit.

Also were they sent in the post or parcel delivery?

Cheers

Thanks David, that's answered it completely. New rear plate is now no. 3 on my list of things to do after fitting parking sensors and finishing off wiring up the front fogs, hopefully tomorrow. Paul
