Front license plate attachment question
Silly questions time, I'm sure.
Holes on front mounting plate don't match up with my license plate. Do I need some form of adapter? What am I missing? Bill

You're not missing anything. Look closely and you will see four very small dimples - two at the top and two at the bottom located to the outside of the existing holes - which will align with your license plate. A type of sheet metal screw is used to fasten the plate. I believe the existing holes fit European plates only.

Also, had to use adhesive on the edges -- the parking sensors were picking them up. |

don't ruin the front end
Wi requires front plates - but I haven't had one for more than 15 years with 3 different cars. I do keep a license plate under my seat so I can throw it up on the front dash if I ever get stopped. I think the likelihood of getting stopped for lack of a front plate as the only violation is quite slim - probably only going to happen if a cop is trying to radar you as you are approaching but can't get a read - and then it would probably only happen in a low traffic situation.
