New s4 owner. Ideas for front number plate relocation

[BigZee87]

Hello all. I am a new s4 owner and needless to say I'm over the moon with the car.

It currently has one of the honeycomb Rs4 style grill with the big quattro logo at the bottom however I think with the number plate in the factory position it kills the look of the grill a bit.

How are others with this style grill wearing their front plates?

Ecs tuning sell a couple of different style of these, I don't have 1 but I'm currently trying to source a standard American spec front grille then I'll be buying 1

Thanks for the input. I'm thinking a side mounted one may be the way forward. may have to look at a private plate so I can go a bit smaller though as don't fancy a full sized one on the side

my favourite location, in the boot.

i agree with the above in the boot.

but its either run without or in the factory place like Mac.

Hey bud I here you there

I couldn't be bothered with taking the plate on and off all the time and I'm not keen on the plate on the dash or the stick on jobs

So went for this half size square job with legal font, shows of the grill and have never been stopped

It's not for the traditionalists but I don't aim to please others

 

[BigZee87]

That's perfect it think, where abouts did you get that made?.

Ideally I would remove it completely but would rather not give the police a reason to pull me over and waist both our time haha

Made the brackets myself and just got the plate from a show plate website, if you check my thread it's all there with pics

Cheers Mac- I had looked at these and the twistnfix and ones.. but hadn’t made my mind up as these are £15 and the twist ones are double that!
Does your plate move at all? I don’t want one that wobbles the plate when you hit a pot hole (as I’m a fussy fecker)

cheers

It doesn't look as if it has moved mate.

I have those fixings on my plate, looks like previous owner had 3d printed them, they're ok but the plate does tilt a little bit sometimes but never come close to falling off.
You will have to cable tie the plate securely for MOT's though as apparently these fixings are not legal as the plate can be removed by pulling off the grille.
