Front Plate

X5 Copa · 09-04-2013, 01:14 AM

Do, I have absolutely no attachment points for a front license plate. A couple if states, no biggie. Several states, no biggie if there are no attachment points, but I would hate being pulled over to determine the issue. Any thoughts?

Sorry. Phone typos. No place to mount a front license plate on my x5, which is illegal in most states.

There is a license plate mount that screws into the bumper. There are two tabs on the mount that line up with two holes under the bumper to center it.

I read the first post and wondered if I had been drinking.

I had been drinking myself, but the issues were big thumbs and a sticky network connection. Reads almost like its in a different language!

Us mill works has a solution that attaches to the tow hook. This way you do not have to drill into the bumper

Is it illegal not to have one in your state that's all that matters. My Provence doesn't require one but most do when I travel to the front plate states and Provences the police never say anything about it.

Get a tow hook license plate. Won't have to drill into the bumper. It's that easy. Take it off whenever you want

JNoSol · 09-05-2013, 09:35 AM

Get the best.

I cannot stand off-centered number plates. It just looks terrible no matter how you slice it.

Off centred plates look terrible. I mean its understandable if you drive a 458 or an aventador because theres literally no place in the front nose for the plate, for other cars it just makes it look nasty.

This is what you want.

I had a friend that lived in Vancouver for awhile but kept his alberta plates he said once in a while they would hassle him about it but they couldn't do anything besides waste his time
