550 Owners - Help please

[ferrisbueller]

Slightly odd request but could people let me know how and where they've attached their front number plates please?

[Camlet]

Two screws drilled from number plate through back plate. Found adhesive tapes too unpredictable due to low position of plate.

As Camlet says - when you reverse out of a parking spot - which "pushed" you number plate backwards......well it kind of snaps/explodes/falls off!

I bought a fitting kit from Ferrari. Effectively two correctly angled brackets and a back plate. I've discarded the back plate as the brackets were ample. I've positioned mine so that bottom of the plate is level with bottom of the the splitter.

[ferrisbueller]

Looking at the brackets, how have you secured the plates? Screw and rawl nut?

[550M]

Screws and caps. I've never had much success with sticky tape.

Mine has brackets attached to the bumper, I've epoxyed the plate to the brackets. As was said above, make sure you put it high enough so that the bottom of the plate doesn't catch the ground on inclines etc, otherwise you need to do this when you're away from home, whilst the epoxy is drying outside the hotel

Just love that high tech use of equipment!!!

It was all I had at hand - a couple of bottles of oil, water, then some handy bits of tree and rocks nearby

I have two brackets that come off the bumper, my number plate is attached with velcro but its a little bit smaller than usual so it doesn't catch
