Default Side mount licence plate

Hi folks,

Here in the UK, the Slims don't come with a side mount licence plate, but I'd like one...

However I can't for the life of me find one for sale, or even a part number.

I found some sold on eBay (HERE

Can anyone point me at a part number, or one for sale?

Thanks!

E

They don't list one, but click here one of these could be modified ? But here in the UK it would have to be illuminated, that could be an issue ?

I pinched these from a completed eBay sale...

I believe they're stock with US models...

Hi Dave - yeah I've tried a few microfiche sites.

They all come up with the same diagram, which basically shows the licence place mount parts, but not the mounting 'arm' as it were...

I've tried various years as well, but they all seem to bring up the same diagram, sans-mounting arm - weirdly it seems to show the licence plate holder mounted directly to the indicator stem mounting point, directly on the fender strut... which ain't right

I think it's an error, you need the help of someone with access to a USA dealer ? It's a month 'till I'm there and they might not know ?
