Custom Made Front Plate Holder

[ragy89]

So i've had tens of people message me asking how i made my front plate holder.

It's incredibly simple, i certainly couldnt justify importing one from USA for £100+.

In total this cost me £11 and about 20 minutes. In an ideal world you'll need two L-shaped brackets, two bolts/washers/nuts. I couldn't find an L bracket long enough so i had to make my own (hence the white and brown parts).

And then double sided sticky pads for the uprights to mount the number plate itself.

It's really simple.


ps. I have a custom plate i will be swapping these out for. Can anyone tell me where i can get similar plates cut to those in the photos? I like the borderless design, and its on metal not plastic. Any help would be much appreciated as I can't find anything online.

What specifications are those L brackets?

or ideally, what would be the ideal specification? (mm x mm)

Just so you know, I can still make out your last three letters of your plate

width is irrelevant.
length needs to be 16cm from screwhole to the L-bend

Try demon plates for your plates

Would this suffice?

i would have thought the reinforcement at the 90deg bend will get in the way of the front spoiler. It will need to be longer to let it pass the spoiler, but then your plate will stick out a bit too much i reckon.

I got my bits from B&Q

Just buy the US sto'n go license plate holder, it is a bolt on, and safe at high speed! The holder is smaller then the US license plates. I am quite sure it fits the UK plate
