Pichon's Plate Holder Review

[papinist]

I thought that since Amazon opened in Italy some years ago, that we were (as always) the last country to have it :eyebulge:

Nah remember that Norways population is only the size of Brooklyn and we are too find of Internet mail order

In thinking maybe I'll just screw it on using the holes in the bumper - that u yes what [MENTION=16428]NewMustangDE[/MENTION] did right? Do these fit the rear also?

a bit more expensive but not much.. Now I'm undecided since even our front plate are smaller (36 cm lenght instead of 52), they are the same height (11 cm) so I could use them..

On the back I will only screw the plate on the bumper for sure.

Yes.

It looks like this...nice and tidy and NO silly commercial for the dealer (in fact, my dealer fitted these....he thought it looked nice without the commercial...hehe).

How do you remove the license plate? There is no room to slide it left or right.

It "snaps" into place.... easy to get out as well if you have to.

Hmm mm... Thanks! How tight is it? Could the plate slide horizontally via vibrations etc?

Its VERY tight. No chance of coming off....

What's the difference with these brackets? Either way you drill the bumper.

You could screw the license plate directly.

is Pichon getting his Mustang soon?

q. to those with the AmazonDE fasteners... how many mm's is between the plate and the car? and did the brackets (both front and rear) go into the holes left by Ford or did you need to have new holes made?!

edit: damn people, AmazonDE have crazy shipping fees! One of the retailers I got to wanted €25 to ship those €5.50 brackets!

 

[papinist]

you can try from amazon.it too

Yes, same holes. See my pic below re distance, rear sits closer.

If you want to, I can simply buy this from local ATS store, put in a envelope and ship it to you ;)

No holes on mine for now, used 3M tape with the same holders as NewMustangDE. I will have the car detailed and coated late October so ill probably will use 2 small holes then or 3M again as I'm not sure if it will stick after the coating. Either way these holders are cheapest yet the best looking for this bumper IMO.

Thanks for the offer [MENTION=16428]NewMustangDE[/MENTION] but I already ordered... Did you use this on the rear as well?

Not exactly the money that is an issue (remember the price of my car? Omg!) but people using very expensive shipping options for small stuff...

Especially true for eBay and is Global shipping program - while convenient it is a total ripoff!

Yes. The package comes as a pair for front and back.
