    Hi I know that this topic has been discussed before but most of the solutions revolve around a euro style plate. Well that wont fly with the boys in blue in my neck of the woods. They told me I have to display a full size plate on the front of the car. Has any one seen of fabricated a bracket for a 355(hopefully on the lower skirt and not in the grill over the prancing horse)

    Had the same problem.....I had this bracket made out of aluminum. It is bolted between the bumper and the under body panel. Rubber grommets with double faced taped are secured to the bumper to prevent vibration of the bracket, prevent rubbing of the plate against the bumper, and so the screws holding the license plate do not touch the bumper. The sides of the bracket are notched out so you don't see the bracket unless you look at it from the side.

    As you can see the plate does not cover any of the front grill.

    If you need more pictures let me know and I'll see if I can take some better shots.

    Nice work could you post some more pics maybe with the plate removed. It looks very professional and there was no drilling required, only adhesive tape to the front bumper

    Nice job, Did you come up with that or FOO ? I wish I would have seen that before I installed mine..No holes in the bumper but small brackets in the grill. I'll try to get some pics..

    I CAME UP WITH THE IDEA AFTER I WAS PULLED OVER TIME AND AGAIN FOR NOT HAVING A FRONT PLATE. I DIDN'T CARE FOR THE WAY I SAW OTHERS PLATES MOUNTED (WITH JUST A LITTLE "L" TYPE CLIP DRILLED INTO THE UNDERSIDE SLAT OF THE GRILL). LOOKS A LITTLE CHEAP FOR SUCH A MACHINE. I TOLD THE DEALER (FoO)WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT NOT TO MOUNT THE FRONT PLATE. I'LL POST SOME MORE PICS OF THE BRACKET WITHOUT THE PLATE SHORTLY.
