short EU (Germany) Licenseplates

Hi everybody,
I recently picked up my G87 M2 LCI. Although I told the Dealer almost 100 times that I don’t want a plate holder in the front - never the less the car came with a plate holder and the dealer told me that the plateholders for EU Cars are already put on the car in Mexico.

So now there were two problems to fix

1. Holes in the Frontpumper - Solution - I took a piece of vinylwrap sanded it a bit down and the painted in my color (alpine white) after the coats where done I stamped out four circles and covered the holes up.

2. Because I have more or less the shortest plate combination that you can get in Germany (shorter than the distance of the factory holes) I did the must plumpest thing you can do - Cut that thing into 3 pieces and plastic welded it shorter back together and that’s the result.

Hope I could help anybody

IF anybody has any other nice looking solutions please let me know !

Kind Regards

Check out these guys. They are in Australia, but the solution is really good and the quality is top notch. I just purchased one of their plinths and plate holders for my M2 LCI. I am super impressed with it.

[QUOTE=DSTR;31664424]Nice option!
Sadly there is also no option for my plate size and they are quite pricey for a plateholder !

There are a few solutions out there
Twist and Fix and MX Motorsport both have good solutions but I want something you can’t take off easy and steal or fall of and not drill trough the plate.
