I got a ticket for not having front license plate and need to get it signed off by a officer. What is the best way to put on the front license plate temporarily til I get it signed off? I was thinking about just taping or zip tie it. If tape was to be used, what kind of tape wouldn't damage the paint when taking off? I'm afraid if i zip tie it to the fender it will scratch the bottom part of the bumper. any suggestions?

 

i need to figure out something to do too.... or i'm going to be the next one to get a ticket. i'm thinking that maybe you can stick it in the lower part of the grille? in the black mesh part? I dont want to drill holes in my front bumper ... plus it looks bad w/ the front tag.

 

it won't fit in the grill. if u attach to the grill it probably will scratch the bottom part of the bumper where license plate sticks out. I did this method to my previous car E46 3 series, and there was scratch marks on it after awhile.

 

frickin hate CHPs!!! the guy was hella being **** about it too. So this is how I got the ticket. I got my car back in sept. and the plates came about month and half later to my parents house. I was busy for a month or so, so I couldn't go pick up the plates. Then, this one day as I exited the freeway to get home, this CHP turns on his lights and pulls me over. The reason was that I didn't have plates. (Freakin can't see you that this is a new car?!?!?! I know it was my fault for not putting the plates on immediately, but still, pulling over a car that is new and checking why I didn't have plates? ridiculous). I know it's only $10 for the fixing, but it's the hassle that I have to go through. My due date is coming up in getting it signed off. So there's my story on how I got the ticket.

Back to the topic, any suggestions?

 

People with G35s rig something up that uses the tow hook hole... You may look into using something like that.

 

ive heard of people using double stick tape not hurting the paint

 

^^ thats what i was just about to say

 

Yea just zip tie it to the mesh part in the lower grill... or double sided tape

 

i think it's this one. not really sure if it works with the g37.
