How will you mount your front plate?

could transfer mhh to a bike and then back again, bikes have black/gold custom same as cars. [214mm x 95mm] vs [371mm x 100mm] for the slimline car plates...

just checked.... premium slimline (cc-111w) is 83mm tall... hmmm

 

agree... 2nd pic in your first post.

 

i don't see it clearly
does he mount the plate in the front or behind the horse?

 

looks to me that the plate is over the horse. I don't really care for the horse being positioned there.

 

Wouldn't it come with a mounting bracket of some sort? No doubt ateco will be required to supply one if not.

 

Yep, I'd definitely remove the horse (I should have made this clear in my post by saying that the plate is fitted over where the horse is located).

 

I would take pic one post one. My State requires one but the fine is $35 and no points. I don't have one on my GTI and wouldn't put one on a Ferrari.

 

that's the same solution everyone adopt in Italy.. unfortunately in Monaco we can't avoid the front plate so a friend just went for the sticker solution..

 

I wish I could say how I was going to mount MY front plate on MY 458.

That wont be happening for a very long time sadly.

Anywho, I would remove the front horsey and use those brackets to mount a slimline plate there.

The BEST place for it. The stickers and the plates above and below the horse look crap IMO.

 

Thinking there must be a way to modify something like this so the plate doesn't sit lower than the under-carriage. Does anyone have a shot of the 458 on a lift with an under-carriage view?

Can you mount the plate in the centre where the horse is and put the horse back in place over top of the place (centered?)

I'm not putting any junk on the front of that car,will deal with cops as I always did with other cars,sweet talk them or pay the ticket...

 

My car just arrived at dealer. I was planning to put the front plate where the cavallino is located, but the dealer argues that such a position will impact the air flow negatively....
they rather recommend to put it slightly above and behind the horse, like on the last picture on the first post...
Not as beautiful, but I can understand their concern on aerodynamic. What do you think?

 

458 owners should ask your local government/state for an exemption due to the fact that Ferrari doesn't mfr a legitimate front license plate holder.

 

my dealer asked an exemption.... it was refused (Swiss administration is not the most flexible...)

 

In the garage on the wall?

 

i will use a sticker version just like on my scud.

Someone posted a pic recently in one of the other threads of a 458 in London without front plates. Not sure how long he'll get away with that in the U.K.

 

my plan was to remove the horse. Problem is it would be just in front of the aero opening below the horse.
Now my choice is to mount the plate with an angle, on the black surface above the horse. Not as beautiful.....
Unfortunately sticker is not allowed in Switzerland, and I wouldn't survive long without a plate...
