Guys I'm telling you I don't trust tapes for such exterior conditions.
Not for a week or a month. But how about after i.e. a year?
Don't tell me that you will be checking the license plate every time before you start the engine.....

Afterall a small screw beneath the bumper would not be an issue.
Ill post some pictures of the bracket tomorrow, it has improvements but I'm still not sure about adding this amount of weight to a plastic bumper.

Here the pics of the plate holder on my car :
Thank for the pic's, can you post a frontal pic as well?
I will try it out as soon as I get the 3M tape, want to fully cover the small bracket.

Needs to slide forward a bit as it is currently sitting on your bumper and when driving, that will slightly move and scratch your bumper.

Looks good though :)

No, on the back you a protective foam as you can see here :
Oh I see, sorry going by the other pics on the red car, it shows it sitting away from the bumper. So having it sitting against your bumper like you have will in turn help with reducing the risk of spinning left or right :)

Now it's in place do yourself a favour and mark a line on the bolt and on the bottom plate so when you come to take it off, you can line the lines up and tighten the bolt knowing it's in the same place as before :)

Personally I would prefer to cover the full plate with this protective foam, not just a small piece. (Just in case!)

You would only need to put a piece on the top corners where if it were to twist and touch the bumper. Although you may find those bits of foam get covered in crap so if they do touch the bumper then the dirt etc could scratch anyway.
