    Do you live in a state where a front license plate is required but you don't want to drill holes in your bumper? In this video I show you how I went baout installing a drill-less, magnetic, removable lince place bracket that can be put on and taken off within seconds. No holes brackets do exist, but usually have to be screwed into the towhook spot which makes the car look not nearly as attractive. A magnetic license plate holder allows you to remove it any time you like and install it when you are required to do so. Quick release license plate are popular if you take your car to a show or just like the look of your clean bumper.

    Here is the best part, I moved from Florida to CT and we only have 1 plate there, after 3 years I found today I have 2 license plates 🤣🤣 I noticed suddenly all cars have front attached and googled it, most people said those are 2 thin plates attached mounted together. WOW, now watching this video to avoid drills.

    • @SimpleCarGuy

      It's crazy how some states are totally ok with no front plate and others will give you a ticket in 30 minutes. Hope you do something similar and don't grill your bumper!

  • @Grenadieros

    The main problem with magnetic licence plates are the vibrations from not good road surfaces and jolts from potholes. These cause the licence plate to slowly slide out of its position and descend downwards. If the magnets behind the bumper are not strong enough (for example just 10 kg power), it is only a matter of time before it starts to slip from its position. Everything may look good at first day in a video but in time (rain, washing, etc.) things will not be as "ideal" as on the first day. Several and very strong neodymium magnets behind the bumper is the key to keeping the plate in place no matter what.

    Great work by the way!! I wish most people in the comments comprehended that it is not for driving just for when it is parked.

    When is the next Z4 maintenance video coming up and what will it be?
    I was looking at battery upgrades which means registering the new battery and perhaps coding..
    Folding roof maintenance and fault finding would be good... Have you changed the 2 salmon coloured roof relays?
    Thanks

    • @SimpleCarGuy
      @SimpleCarGuy  4 роки тому +1

      That would be super cool but also very illegal haha.
      I can do a battery registration video, but I’m not sure if I can register it if it’s used since it’s already registered.
      I’ll be doing the roof maintenance in a few weeks once the weather is nice.

      Unless you are willing to take off the bumper, I don't think so. There are options where people drill into the bottom of the grill and put a bracket on there that you can slide the license plate bracket in.
