I spent about 30 minutes trying a few positions until I found one that is working really well so far. No proximity warnings, ACC working as expected. Here are a few pics of the process.
1. I used the second honeycomb row from the bottom as I didn't want the bottom bar touching the bottom trim. I also slid the bottom bar as far to the left as possible, about 1/8" from the trim to get it as far away from the ACC sensor as possible.

2. The first time I went through the process I didn't use spacers, then had to take it apart and do it again. The second time, I used the small spacers that came with the kit. This allowed the final assembly to protrude past the trim enough so I could slide the license plate as far to the left as possible. For reference, I used the middle of the three machine screw holes on the bracket to attach to the mesh grill.

3. Next, I attached the final frame piece that is used to attach the license plate. You can tell by the screws at the right and left which screw holes I used. This allows for the license plate to be positioned just below the left parking sensor and not too low to protrude from the bottom of the bumper.

You can tell from this profile photo that the license plate doesn't protrude too far from the bumper, but also isn't so close that you risk scratching it at the same time.

Hope this helps someone else. I'm only about 4 hours into usage but no complaints so far. |
Good write up. Many will want this info that require front plates. Can you post this in the “Cosmetic Mod” section of the forum for future reference. We are establishing to be our own best authority of G05 information and reference.
