PROBLEM: 87 FC - License Plate wide for rear bracket
Hi all,
I'm from WA, Australia and I've just imported an '87 FC from Japan. The problem is the standard license plates are gonna be too wide (372mm) for the brackets in the rear tail light assembly. Are there any FC owners out there with this same problem? Should I try trimming the plates (is this legal?) or should I try cutting into the plastic plate holder assembly?

Some cars imported from Japan have that problem with our plates too, since Japanese plates are quite small. Usually the edges of the plate are bend outwards to make it fit, since it's technically ilegal to modify the plate by cutting it. Personally I'd just cut it.
