front european plate bracket

em2b96p · 09-04-2007, 06:28 PM

as you already may have known i purchased a used z4. the car came from VA and it had a front plate, i live in PA and we dont have front plates. screw holes were drilled in the front of the bumper and its really ugly. looks like 4 tiny volcanos.

i solved the problem by adding a europlate and it donest look too clean mounted.

my question is... can the existing holes be used to mount the OEM euro plate bracket?

-part number: 51117016062

last thing i want is to order this part and have to drill 4 more holes in the bumper. since i have a alpine white z im trying to stay away from the swiss cheese look

don't know if you can order "NON US" part from US dealership..
and u probably have to RE-DRILL the holes as they won't match up(my guess)

just put some BMW emblem plate in the front or something

drill 4 new holes in the euro plate bracket to match the existing holes in the bumper.
