Fitting scratch plates

Post by Dans61wagon »

On scratch plates they have 2 letters stamped in them eg. LB= left back. Does is really matter if they are on the opposite sides of the car eg. Putting a left back on a right back and a left front on right front?? Because i have an odd set and wondering if i could get away wth it? cheers Daniel

If you have a FL and FR compare them back to back to see if they have any differences, if they are the same sort of shape but mirrored, then the rear ones are most likely the same and you can probably get away with it. as long as you use rear ones on rear doors and fronts for fronts because of the different shapes of under the door handles
