And how could the thing stay on the car with no holes.. either holes either powerfull glue (wich you will never be able to remove).. or you can use also some rubberbands around the whole car maybe?

i was wondering by reading this topic where the swiss enzo owners have their front plates, cause there's no space for it. i've found a pic in TT's gallery



it doesn't look very good...

Yes this one was a sticker I think, and I saw other Enzos using a sticker for the front plate, but actually time ago I asked if it's legal and no, in Switzerland only boats can have stickers plates...

LOL... have you guys never seen stickers before?


There are three in a pack, stick them to the back of the plate, and they have a powerful adhesive.

TT... in evo magazine, their old Caterham used these sticky pads (but they kept falling off) ... they seem to work well on my dad's merc

You can also get decals, but they look shit as they are smooth over the body.

But maybe the stick pads won't work... your plates are metal, and therefore heavier.

BTW - ask a dealer who has no hole in his plate what he uses

It's not a sticker you can see a shadow/dark edge on it

What about some zip ties? I honstly can't think of any way of haveing a holeless bumber, unless you specifie from the factory and the build it into the bumper, so all you have to do is screw on the plate.

You can use magnets like the Dealers use for test drives or suck it up and drill some holes. Or you could outlaw like me and not have one eventhough Illinois reguires them but can't pull you over for it.
