front license plate w/o drilling
Is it possible to install a front license plate without drilling into the bumper?
What is the best way to do that? |

+1 on the sto n sho. The installation instructions say to use the adhesive tape and a screw, but mine is holding well with the supplied tape only. You can screw it in if you'd like, the location of the hole wouldn't be easily visible.

STO-n-SHO still requires one hole to be drilled for proper installation...but the hole is drilled upwards from underneath the bumper. No one will ever know it's there.

I stripped my bumper off and clued 5 x Neodymiun (rate earth) magnets behind the bumper. (20mm Diameter 5mm thick)
I then glued 5 of those to a number plate bracket, stuck some soft rubber pads to them so that they don’t scratch the paintwork. This way I can remove the plate whenever I want and just pop it back on. If you do the above then the best is to mount magnets onto the Numberplate first. The line it up on the bumper using the magnets on the inside. Once level while the magnets are in place, then apply the clue to the ones in the bumper. If that makes sense.

+1 on Carbonio. I’ve had it since I bought my car and it is great. Easy on and off.
