OK, so you were right....
Several of you have commented on my trimmed-down front licence plate when we have met on “cruises”, or TedFest last year, the general opinion being it would only be a matter of time before I fell foul of the local constabulary.
Well this week you were proved right, after 2.5 years thanks to Officer Attoe, who by his own admission had nothing better to do, but who at the same time clearly felt my offence ranked only slightly below that of Jack the Ripper and wrote me a ticket for $110..... Oh well, time for some new plates. Any recommendations on how best to attach them? I used magnets on my Lotus Elise, but maybe I’ll just have to bite the bullet and drill the front bumper😱 At least I had the slight satisfaction of extending to PC Attoe my hope that he would be able to find something more useful to do during the remainder of his shift.

That sux but good to know.
Don't drill the bumper, you'll regret it.

I used the skene setup for the front with rare earth magnets and some double sided tape for reassurance. Easy to pop off and on as needed. But honestly, I have been driving for about 5 years without a front plate and no issues. *knock on wood*.

I use the backing tape from removable 3M picture hooks - easy to remove without damage

Yes, I ended up using outdoor double sided tape, after finding how durable it is when I removed my “chopped” front plate. Not sure if I would recommend it for brush car washes, but since I never use those, it’s a bit of a moot point.
