    Front Number Plate Fitting

    How have people attached their front number plate , I know there has been posts about size and location but How do you actually fit it. My grill has a rim running around it and is held in place by 3 screws top and bottom, one either side and one in the middle both top and bottom. If you could post a picture of what type of bracket you used or how it is fitted that would be great. Sorry for the replicationof the picturesClick image for larger version.

    You might have seen this already Kenny.
    Some good stuff in the thread, especially the legal stuff from Griff. No specific bracket designs but depends where you want to fit it of course. I would fit it on the lamp pad cover but it won't do much for your graphic unfortunately.

    Re: Front Number Plate Fitting

    Thanks John I had seen this thread and it does show the number plate in different positions on different cars but does not show you what type of bracket or fixing is used to secure the plate. The legal requirements I understand about size and spacing. Don't feel I want to put it on the pod cover because of the graphics.

    Re: Front Number Plate Fitting

    I have fixed 2 captive nuts in the rear of the quad pod cover and I used to have a full size plate on there, but it really screws the graphics.
    I made up 2 brackets (same width as full size plate) in the radiator inlet and used to have a full size plate there - never had any overheating though!
    I got a smaller plate made up and fitted an alloy bar between the brackets and fitted my smaller plate to that - vanity
    I normally take the small plate off and put the full size plate on at MOT time, but forgot yesterday. Got a PASS no problem.
    It was only reading your post reminded me about legality

    I've put two M6 anchor nuts on the underside horizontal surface, just in front of the grille Kenny.
    That's as far as I've got.

    Just a bit of bent ally nailed through the grille with my undersized plate that looks okayish as it's only 5 letters/digits wide.
