no-drill license plate holder for MR2 Spyder

thingiverse

I detest having to drill into my vehicle for something as unappealing as a license plate. I also abhor getting pulled over for not having front plates. I attempted mounting my plates inside the front grille, but the A/C (hard to believe) operates poorly when you block that much of the grille. So I designed this mount that reaches through the front plastic grille and securely attaches to the radiator frame via bolts. It holds more than half the plate below the grille, and the A/C functions remarkably well now. It has withstood harsh weather, "highway speeds", and even a few encounters with tall parking blocks without breaking. You'll need to add your own 1/4-inch long bolts for attaching the oval to the inside bracket, and a few small 1/4 inch bolts and nuts to secure the bracket to the radiator frame. Finally, you will also require an aftermarket license plate holder. Mine was a "Front Bumper Tow Hook License Plate Mounting Bracket Relocate Holder for BMW" sold by: Acepath USA on Amazon.com.
