Fronte License Plate

Anybody making tow hook license plate mounts yet? I have one from US Millworks on my M235 but can't find any listings for the G05

I used cravenspeed for my no drill lic plate mount. I love it. I have been working very close with them to get one developed for the new x5 taking loads of measurements and pictures for them. I am waiting on one last email reply before they ship the prototype to me. If you have any questions you can email them and speak with Kellen. The frame is expensive, I paid 93$ for the one of my 540i. Will let you guys know whats up after they email me back about the last measuremnt and picture i sent.

I'm taking chances by not installing one in front

Ditto. Have you or anyone you've ever known gotten a no front plates ticket??? Doubt it

Just a dream...

Wouldn't it be nice if US states offered front license plates that were European dimensions. I, for one, would pay extra for that. Great revenue generator for the states that would offer it.

After a couple of no front plate tickets, I'm done trying to game the system. So, I'll slap on that California front plate and try to forget about it.

JRA - Just the other day I'm talking to my friend that is a police officer and I mentioned what was the deal with all the cop cars out on I-10(there were 8 all in a row on the side and a couple down the road with their lights having pulled someone over). He said they were pulling over people for no front plate. I kid you not. So yeah, I would put the plate on. Get a no drill plate, it uses the front tow hook spot to attach everything. Its super simple and clean, plus it looks a little Euro because the plate is to the side and not in the middle. Just my 2 cents bruv.

skenebrackets.com. Not mounted to tow hook. Does require drilling holes, but on the horizontal under side of the bumper, not visible.

I got pulled over today for no front plate, didn't get a ticket but maybe after a few more times I will. I'm up to 3 during the past 4 months so I don't want to test my luck

I've gotten no front plate tickets all the time in NYC

I tint front windshield so my turnpike bar is made for a motorcycle.

With driver assistance plus, where do I not place this bar in terms of sensors?

I used the app on my iPhone to upload an image but managed not to get it to work so will try again.

RJC · 12-08-2018, 08:12 AM

What happens when you get pulled over? Just a warning or fine? How much?

mnewnam · 12-08-2018, 01:22 PM

Anyone in the Houston area run without a front plate? Any issues?

Here finally is my turnpike pass so again I ask where does this NOT go in the front.
