LupoBoi Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I'm thinking of getting my front number plate recess smoothed and want to mount the number on the lower grill of the front bumper. I've seen people using cable ties to hold it but I want it to sit away from the grill. Anybody does this or know anyone who has?If they do, how do you do it? Is there anything you can buy?

treblet Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Make your own bracket, all you need is a bent piece of steel or aluminium with a few holes in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartagram Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Easiest and cheapest way is just to make a bracket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There Is Nothing Worse Than Typing Like This. LOL but as everyone has said, Brackets are the easiest way, I screwed mine into the lower bumper and it doesn't look the best, I'll be changing it when i put the 3L front on, i'll work something better out.

jamiea7x Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 google hideaway plates could be a cool option, have them show for driving then fold away for the showssuch ashttp://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CCwQtwIwAg&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DE3cLALy_vh4&ei=FnwqTZaXL4aKlweUiIXsAQ&usg=AFQjCNFeJTCoIHRoUx4OtfZUNvZ88zlD4g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDGM Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 ^^ Looks cool, but I can't help feeling that the big numberplate sized bar across the grille looks like it might be useful for something...Am I right in thinking stick on plates are illegal nowadays? When I smoothed the front of my Mini, I stuck one on the bonnet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
