DIY Front License Plate Bracket

Sure, glad to help somebody out.:thumbsup:

I even hear of people using zip ties, but it seems as though it would block more air from getting through the grill. Whereas this mod keeps the plates out 1.5 inches, so more air can get in.

I just realized that my DIY is the exact same only the plate is my liscense plate. I will say that my plate has not touched my bumper and has held up great. I even took it through a car wash to see what would happen. It is completely fine. I also have my about as close as that guys. Oh and I have rubber washers to protect the black grill.

Just zip tie your plate to the hexagonal part below the VW logo. That is what I did :D

That's pretty crude. My dealer used black zip ties through the bottom of the honeycomb.

Owned my GTI for 6 months and have not put the front plate on yet. I did get a $60 ticket, but it looks much better with out it on there and worth the price! I need to move to a state that does not require front tags!

I did this exact thing on my GTI and it works great - though getting that lower middle grill off seemed to be impossible; I worked around that issue.

I wish I had found this thread before Friday of last week when the Dealer's drill hit my front bumper...
