MB Front License Plate

Hey guys, I have been looking around a bit here and there and I was wondering were you guys mount your front license plate? Do you just wreck you FC bumper in the center or can you put in on your dash inside the car? I know this sounds stupid but I am getting ready to insure my car and I don't want to leave anything over turned.

Thanks guys

Having a plate on the dash inside your car is just that, a plate inside your car. If your province requires a plate to be mounted on the front of the vehicle, it is to be placed at the front of the vehicle on the exterior.

I'd suggest looking for the stock mount to avoid any issues, but you could rig something up to mount it.

I did not know that there were stock plates to mount your front plate on. That changes alot I guess.

If Alberta ever requires a front plate, mine will hang off the lower edge of the lip, angled upward to direct air into the intake - not blocking the brake or cooling ducts. Of course, it may drag and get beat up a little...

Stock bracket? It mounts to the top lip in the opening of the bumper, causing no damage. Yeah, it sticks the plate in the middle of the bumper where it will catch your leg every time you walk in front of the car, but it still doesn't cause any damage and doesn't cover any cooling openings.

Got pulled over a few weeks back for having my plate on the dash, I just zip tied it to the grill area on the front and kind of tucked it up. Its impossible to see from almost any angle but dead on. Cops said its legal though
