Testarossa front lic. plate

Here in MA. 'I need to install a front plate' too but I won't. My car hasn't had one going on 19 years and I won't be the first to hack it up to put one on. I know from experience that if you explain that to the cop pulling you over for it and keep the plate in the car and produce it,they'll let you slide. They pretty much just want to know that the plate isn't lost, stolen or otherwised used illegally.

That's my experience anyways on more than one occasion.

There was another thread of a guy who made a copy of his plate, shrunk it down a bit, laminated it then attached it to the front of the car. Another guy made an adhesive facsimile and stuck it to the front of his 355. It was a Euro plate and he was able to shape it nicely to the body work.

It seems to me like you should be able to attach something to the front grill and be able to take it on and off as need be. I'd hate to have to drill into the bodywork and attach a bracket. If that's your only option the dealer should have a fix.

 

Another option is to utilize the tow-hook hole in the front spoiler for mounting the plate. This way you don't have to screw anything up to mount it. Just make a bracket and/or plate frame that will bolt up there, nothing permament this way.

 

Did you get a ticket for running a light and that's why you need a front plate. I am sure that they don't take a picture of every car, only traffic violators. In San Francisco police on foot patrol downtown ticket any car without front license plates.

Got tired of the police thing so I put mine on. Lowered it to the to bottom screws and put the hores in the center.
