help needed with front plate

BLACK335iCOUPE · 06-29-2009, 11:10 PM

hey guys,

i hate that big thing attached to the front bumper that holds your license plate, anyone know how to take it off? does it leave bolt holes or other marks? any tips on what to tell the POlice once pulled over for it would also help

use a screw driver and unscrew the plate, then you will see two more screws that hold the bracket to the bumper. there will be two holes where the screws were.

Correct. The two holes are much better than having the huge front plate bracket in my opinion.

unscrew everything..

tell him you were washing your car forgot to put it on..
1. car has to be clean
2. doesn't work on raining days but give it a shot.

you can then get bumper plugs painted body color to plug the holes

is there any way of filling in the holes? I don't want random bumps on my front bumper, my car doesn't have herpes

you can ask a body shop to fill them and paint them, but its not going to be cheap.
