916 front bumper lisence plate mounting, thread idea taken from "V-8 guys, show front radiator vents" Options

I thought this would be shown in a new thread, so anyone with a 916 front end might not miss out on it, conversion or not. In Euro, it is no problem, as they have the slimmer plates, but here our plates are taller. Some have chosen not to use the plates in front , that is your paroggative. I didn't have one either, until I got pulled over by the police for it. These pictures are also helpful in the way that you can see how by using this bracket, how much of the radiator air hole is covered up , in case you have a conversion. The bracked came from the Nissan dealership, what car is uncertain (Altima, maybe ?). But it has two slanted bubbles in the back, that allow for a rivet to go through the bumper after the holes have been drilled. It sits nice and flush, and is sturdy. The entire back of the plate is supported by it. It mounts rite on to the bottom "lip" of the 916 bumper. The bracket was $40 dollars. Hope this helps. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The law in Colorado is that the car must have two plates, front and rear, permanately attached. Being that it does not say where, my rear plate is in a lighted frame in the back window and my front plate is in the front window - held to the glass with those suction cups with hooks.
I used to get several tickets in my gray market GTI for running the front oval that it came with. I never get any greif in the Porsche and it is not only far more obnoxious, but its also runing a euro plate in the stock lit location. I refuse to drill my front bumper. I am not a fan of the 916 bumpers. Unfortunately I am stuck with them for now. Adding a front plate even makes them look more like a fake body kit was installed on the car. Not my scene.
I would call the local/state cops and see what they will accept before drilling anything.
