Hey man where did you buy this. Please tell me i just got an s4
Arber M I ordered it from Amazon. It’s listed as “The Platypus License Plate Mount” from CravenSpeed
Thanks man
What about your headlight washer what's the deal in there when it pops out😕
Thank you for sharing. I prefer the centered plate. Maybe my OCD.
Thank you for this video. It gave me the confidence to order a similar product for my 2019 A4
Does your headlights washer on the plate side work propperly??
No problem here.
Ive installed one similar and it disrupts the sensor
I don’t have forward parking sensors which might explain why I didn’t experience that issue.
@@BrettSmashy Thanks
It looks like it blocks your head light washers. They open every time you wash your windows.
I added a couple drops of permanent strength Loctite to prevent the screws from vibrating loose.
Great idea! A little loctite blue can’t hurt.
Sucks you ended up with holes in your front end. Ugh. I just picked up a 19 BRZ in Ontario, got one of these Platypus offset mounts and installed it today off the tow hook. The car was brand new off the lot, dealer was not a fan of drilling holes on my new car so no holes :) Love the offset look!
That's awesome! Hope you're enjoying it!
Can't find anything like this for EU style plates
try thread lock also...vibrations may loosen it after time...sorry if this was said already
Yo i live Texas but y’all have some ugly plates
Invest in custom plates. They're not cheap but they look great!
*hits back button when crescent wrench is misnamed*
Thanks for the video and for taking the time to show the mount. However, I don't like how it looks on the side and you have helped me make my mind up.
All good! I'm glad it helped.
Great video, thanks! But isn't that other little piece near the tow hook cover a headlight washer? Doesn't it block the headlight washer from coming out?
Kevin Zolitor I’m not sure, but I’ve never been in a position where I needed to rely on that. Headlights stay pretty clean.
I installed one of these on my M2 Competition. It not only would never stay still and set off the sensors constantly, it wound up damaging the bumper.
I wound up buying a Sto-n-Show which was much better. But now I've got an RS3 and Sto-N-Sho doesn't make one for it. Unfortunately I've been pulled over twice, so it looks like I have to go with this again. Not happy
so it's only held in place by one screw? gotcha.
also, my plates currently have special screws to deter theft, if I get this bracket will all that be for nothing? (ie. is it easier to steal a licence plate using a tow hook bracket compared to a regular bracket?)
There are holes for screws to fix the license plate to the mount so I guess you can use special security screws without issue. The plate mount is bolted to the car with a single bolt. If you do a better job tightening that bolt then I did the first time should be no problem. If you’re worried about someone stealing your plate after all that, I don’t know what to say. There’s realistically nothing more you could do with a regular license plate mount that is any more or less secure other than moving out of the ghetto or whatever kind of neighborhood it is where people will steal a license plate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I have this kit looks ok but car wash brushes smack the plate around scratching the paint.....the one screw in back is not enough to keep plate still.....I always have to take it off n put it back on
I'm a hand wash / touchless was guy for this reason and more. Scratches and swirls are not your friend.
Same thing happened to mine. It actually bent the plate folded it in half the first and only time I took it to the car wash. I’m taking off the mount, moving to a state that doesn’t require front plates.
Brett, For God's sake buy a real set of tools! Adjustable wrenches are embarrassing!
James Boniface Interesting story here. I was going to buy a nice set of wrenches, but somebody online told me to buy a real set of tools. Unfortunately for me, I don’t take well to people telling me what to do. I do better when people offer advice instead of criticism like when someone says, “A job like this would be easier and faster with nice set of wrenches instead of those adjustable ones.” It’s a real character flaw, I know. (－‸ლ) In any case, to this day, I refuse to buy a set of wrenches. True story! ;-)
Does it block the front sensor's coverage?
Moreover, the headlight washer as well.
I am just curious to know this before getting one
suther Singh I don’t have any front sensors on my 2015 S4, so it was not a problem for me. I’d recommend just taking your license plate off and centering it over the front tow hook spot to see if there’s any interference. I haven’t seen any interference with headlight washer.
Nice, putting the license plate on the side give the S4 a cleaner look
when you hit your washer fluid switch, does the headlight washer door hit the plate at all?
How does it holding when you drive in high speed? is it still intact?
Hey man, does it block the parking sensor?
John Lee Unfortunately, I cannot say. My 2015 S4 didn’t have front parking sensors.
Does the plate get in the way of the front sensor?
Didn't seem to be.
You forget put blue loctite
Great suggestion!
Does the mount totally cover the opening after screwing in the toe rod? Concerned about salt getting into the bumper. I live in a salt belt state.
Don't use those adjustable wrenches. Real tools would get it as tight as you want.
Thanks will do. I was just pulled over by the police for not having a front license plate on my Audi S4. I just got the tow hook license plate device yesterday. I will hook it up this weekend.
Needed to put a front plate on my car when I moved. This was a big help
Thank you. I am guessing you get what you pay for? The other one on Amazon is a 3.3, overall for $24. Still treating you well? Ready to order :)
I haven’t been using it recently just because I stopped running front plates altogether. The plate holder worked great. I think I started a thing at work because everyone got one of these after I did. ;-)
If I'm being honest it looked better centered on the monster grille.
Mine isn’t very tight either… i find it loosens up every time I drive on the highway! Any suggestions on how to fix this??
Someone suggested loctite.
Can I use the tow hook plate on my 2011 A8
Looks way better!
Lol 😂
Brett's Dope Audi
How has it held up? I hear they spin.
You do have to tighten it down properly or it will spin
Now the car looks like their's a punk behind the wheel. Lol
