Right after alot of abuse on many forums :P I need to decide what to do with my front plate.
Sooo...
I have my standard size plate and this came last week
Image
Standard height just 300mm long rather than 500 or whatever standard ones are.
So what are people's suggestions?

This is how it is currently

Get high power magnets, glue the one side inside bumper by normal slot, glue other end to plate and clip on and clip off as you please

Suction pads won't work very well and ran out of excuses for the police haha hence the plate being on for daily driving. Magnets, not keen on the idea! Suppose it wouldn't be too bad if the magnets were rubber coated or something though. And my plate is held on in a similar way to those brackets in the link just fitted lower down. I did run it something like that for a while then swapped it lower to see which looked better. Think I'm going to try the small plate mounted with brackets to sit in standard place or maybe abit lower like this...

That's only a photoshop. But it shouldn't affect it that much. It's only slightly overlapping the grill. Still plenty of space for air to pass through!
