Front German license plate
I have a vanity license plate on my 1. I am thinking of ordering a vanity German license plate to match. My state does not require to have a license plate in the front so it's legal.
Should I ordering a Germany license plate in the front? |

I live in a one plate state & see a lot of ED plates around. Not something I would do, like the clean lines of the M-Sport, but if you like it go for it.

I'm ecstatic to live in a no front plate state. Can't imagine putting one on unless I was forced to. The front bumper was not designed to carry one and it really messes up the look.

Im sad because the dealership made 4 holes in mine to mount the euro license plate bracket. SO when i return to the states with it, i will have to have those repaired, or replace my bumper with the 1M rep. I was pretty pissed off when I saw it. My plates are secured using velcro now. Very clean look. and I can swap for my customized plates for show, and then reinstall my legal plates before I leave. It's very convinient.

The velcro isn't exposed. Look at my picture above.

No no, was talking about IEDEI driving with the velcro and no plate on his car, then putting the plate on after parking. Your install looks great.

Yeah the velco would trap alot of bugs i would imagine... best part witht the velcro is you could mount the plate on either side of the bumper instead of in the middle. it would look clean that way too.

Thanks everyone for your inputs. I have decided to order to license plate to match with my rear plate (my daughter's name). If I don't like it, I'll remove the plate and use it for her room
3M tape, no drilling on my front bumper. |

Do body shops fill those holes or do I have to scrap the whole front bumper? |

Another alternative to the velcro is the no holes plate bracket. Thats what I have on my car and tbh will prob be getting on all future cars so long as I live in the DC Metro area.
The bracket is offset to the right and gives the car a distinctive look, I would highly recommend this alternative to using double tape or velcro, since you can easily take the plate off and replace with the factory bumper insert. |
