Tow Hook License plate?

mcveigh07 · 11-11-2009, 05:04 AM

Hey guys,
I am on my second ticket for not have a front license plate and I really dont want to mount my license plate to where it can permanantly leave holes. I have seen and looked around for something I saw where you can mount your license plate where your tow hook is. I was wondering if anyone has this and where they got theirs.

Thanks,
Tim!

Hey,

i just installed an mtech 2 front bumper, and i bought an RHO plate directly from the manufacturer (located in B.C)
not much people are fans in the BMW scene; but i certainly like it lol....

this sounds terrible to most, but it' gives the bmw a "jdm" look

^^ nice.

but the RHO plate has minimal gap inbetween the bumper and plate bracket

true, depends on your budget, and mine doubles as a ramming bar

I also had a front plate ticket we needed signed off on our 328, so we just made the tow hook holder. Cost was less than $5.

And it sits flush cause I cut the extra tow hook I had from my e36 and only used the threaded portion.

Was it you or was it somebody else who sliced their leg when they walked by their home-made plate holder and bumped into it?

An option, no holes on vertical face of bumper, but not cheap:

The DIY tow hook plate looks like some work and I really dont like the final outcome. I think ill just order the one from rhoplate because that looks good and isnt that expensive. Thanks for help!
