Arrow Got busted for no front plate today

Got busted/ticketed today (it was about time though honestly). Cop was nice enough to tell me to dispute it, show up with a photo of it fixed, and drop the charges. Treat the officers with respect, and they'll give you it back (most of the time)

Problem is, my front bumper is the R1. Any suggestions? Custom license plate bracket? Sticker? I want it to look semi-clean. I HATE front license plates...

I have black grill and have my license plate tucked onto it. I think sticker is still illegal.

yeah, i zip tie mine to the plastic grill.. it's a bit off center... but it's usually hidden... just the top and angle it downwards...

i have duct tape on the top and bottom so it doesn't scratch up the grill too much and it fits nice and snug...

Do you at least have the license plate tucked at the front windshield on the inside?

Contrary to popular belief, that is totally illegal. Think about if you get in a serious accident, you will have a sharp piece of metal air bourne!

Ronac, I like how you did that. Stills allow air flow through the bumper too. Any closer shots showing how you mounted it?

just fold some duct tape so its sticky on both sides, then mount your plate,take a pic, dispute it, and rip her off as soon as you get home. front plates ruin grills.

fold or cut the plate up so it's smaller? drive backwards?
