    Hi All,

    So we need to run front here plates for the 458 in the UK - have purchased the carbonio bracket which arrived in super quick time.
    Any tips on where to stick the reg plate to the bracket? For maximum clearance I could fit lower edge of the plate to the bracket but I think this would cover the prancing horse emblem.
    I was planning to fit with the top of the plate to the top edge but this would likely lower the front clearance and risk grounding the front. Anyone have any pics of theirs fitted?
    Cheers.

    Maximum clearance - blocks the prancing horse.

    Lower clearance but won't block the emblem.

    We have to have front plates in Washington but its only like an $80 ticket so not worth putting it on the car. How bad do they drill you in the UK? Seems like a shame to mount a front plate on these cars.

    Wow $80, that would be worth the risk - in UK up to £1,000 fine and they may also take the registration off you for repeated offences.
    Agree - looks better without plates but at least the carbonio can be easily removed.

    Keep the plate in the front under the seat . I got pulled once for no front plate
    They flashed me down i quickly put the plate in the front window . And said I’ve just had ppf done and need to leave it off for a few days they were fine with that in uk
