Hi guys I've just had the front bumper resprayed and smoothed on my pre face R and wondering where everybody suggest I put my plate. Got some gel plates on order from europl8 so waiting for them to arrive to put it on. Open to suggestions [THUMBS UP SIGN]

After all that work, it'd be a shame to hide the un-spoilt look of the front. I saw a mod a little while back where some high-powered magnets are installed in the upper lip (just above where the central grill opens to the radiators) which allows a plate to be magnetically mounted (it had an L shaped bracket attached to it), and removed for shows/photos etc.

As for a perma-mounting, the only alternative mounting points I can think of are over the Drivers side vent (I believe this side is a facade vent and doesn't actually act as an intake) and mount as a box-plate, or wrapped centrally across the narrow strip between the black bonnet grill and the lower grill; think there's someone else on here that's got it printed on the bumper itself in 'legal font', but it's actually a part of the bumper itself (yay for white cars!)
