    I need some advice... what rear plate bracket should I get for a Euro market f355? Is there one that fits the wiiiiiiiiiiiiiide holes, or should I re-drill the bumper for a USA plate bracket and plug the old holes?

    Curious what experienced importers do, as this is my first import since my wife's ZXR-250C years and years ago.

    thanks in advance!

    I bet if you google hard enough you’ll find something. But don’t drill holes. You could pretty easily Make an adapter if you needed to.

    Have you thought about using 3M heavy duty velcro? I use this for both front and back plates and as long as you use the heavy duty version it won't e going anywhere. I hate seeing screwed on numberplates!

    Just search Amazon for : 3m velcro strips heavy duty

    I'm afraid this is the only pic I could find so excuse the wire :)

    What did you end up getting Mark ? I have the same exact issue for my F355 berlinetta that just arrived from Europe

    Fast forward in 2024.. does anyone have a neat solution to mount a US plate at the rear of a euro specs 355 without drilling additional holes in the bumper?

    Double sided sticky tape. Works great.
