How to attach rigid license plate to the front of my 360

Same problem, however different car.

I had a custom aluminium mount designed and made for the front of my Porsche 997 911. Plates are Queensland Prestige Plates.

It was very well made, however took 16 weeks and I am a little embarrassed to say how much it cost.

If you're not in a hurry could be a solution for you.

The car or the bracket ???

 

I have had a vinyl reflective sticker made up for the front of the 550, I know it's not legal but probably not a serious issue.

 

How's the IMS?

 

Thank you for your concern.

No trouble so far. Yours?

 

So far so good.

 

On my 360 I used heavy duty grip tape with dual fasteners from 3M. Like Velcro but a lot stronger! Double sided taped to the bumper and the number plate you can pry off the plate with some care multiple times for when you wash the car.

 

When I bought my 456 there were no screw holes in either front or rear. I wanted plate covers so I made a 2" wide aluminium bracket that matched the shape of the front bumper with z ends to allow another flat plate to bolt to. Double side tape to attach.

Impossible Mission Service ?

 

Would that be approved in the aviation industry Graeme ?

 

I had a plastic sticky on the front body - with the front hard plate on the floor LHS.
Got shaken out once - showed them the real plate under my wife's heels & legs.
"Thankyou sir, very nice" don't know if it was the carpet or the correct plate.

 

I did use Hilocks with K nuts.
50mm x 3mm strip ally from Bunnings.

The Bunnings ally is actually reasonably stiff, making the brackets I hand bent the curved section over a piece of 100mm tube in small steps checking it against the car at each stage. Good idea is identify the centre of the bumper and mark on a piece of tape, and mark the strip to align with the mark on the bumper, that way your not chasing the curve. The z ends with wood in a vice.
It did take two goes to get it to where I was happy.

 

Buy two lengths you'll probably muck up the first one.
If you know someone with folder that would be even a better way to do it.
Make cardboard templates of the the profile will also assist. Good luck and post some pictures.

If you have money to burn, you could always order one of these Fabspeed holders

Has to be visible at a 45 degree angle from left and right and above at a distance of 20 metres. This keeps our roadside photographers happy..

Hi Gabe see how you go with the holder. I gently bent the plates to the curve of my 550 and 360 at the front and then used double sided 3 M tape. The plates bend nicely at the front as the are light guage and once on, you can't tell as they match the curve of the bumper. Mine have been on for over 5 years now and are still rock solid. Sorry have been busy with work so have only just seen the thread. Good Luck!

 

I have a Ferrari AND a Yaris! Much more chuckable into a wet roundabout than the Ferrari.
