Car Forum / Oldsmobile Cars / October 2003Intrigue front license plate bracket
I'm thinking of purchasing a used Intrigue. I live in a state that doesn't require a front license plate. The Intrigue I'm at which I'm looking has a front plate now. I would like to know if the plate bracket is attached using screws that cause holes in the smooth front end. I like the clean look of the Intrigue without the plate. Does anyone have any information about this? Not sure about the Intrigue, but the Alero uses rivits to attach the bracket. > I'm thinking of purchasing a used Intrigue.

There are three very small indentations molded into the smooth front of the machine for starting the screws. You can scarcely see them, but they are plainly visible when wax gets trapped in them. My guess is that if you take the bracket off you will find some unsightly screw holes. > thanks...I wish it would be removable...but I'll live with it if not. > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! > > -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- You are correct, sir. I got the car today and sure enough, there are holes in it. I'm probably just going to buy a nose bra for it. That'll cover the holes and rock-pecked front cap. > My new 2002 Intrigue came with the front license bracket in a plastic bag > and metal screws for attaching it.

My machine (actually my wife's machine) is only a year and a half old, but the front end has taken more than its share of hits from stones. In my travels around the various newsgroups I find that folks seem to believe that a bra will cause more harm to the finish than it prevents. Supposedly this happens because grit gets trapped underneath the bra and does a number on the paint over time. But if it is going to be a permanent installation then maybe it doesn't matter. > You are correct, sir. I got the car today and sure enough, there are holes > in it.

I kept it waxed and it looks fine. You have to make sure to clean the back of the bra. > You're right about that rock pecking.
