GT4 Front UK Number Plates?

[bsc01]

I have been asked if I want the front bumper drilling for the number plate but don't know what it looks like with the different options...

Has anyone got some pics of their front number plate please? (Please blur out the reg)
What have people gone for? Vinyl Stick on or with a plinth?

I don't have the option of running without a plate as my car will be checked everyday.

Thanks

Well for goodness sake don’t let them drill it! Those plinths fit so poorly it rather spoils a nice front design.

I can’t do a photo now but I have a legal-sized stick-on one. But a regular plate can be stuck on with double sided tape too along the top edge. I’ve done that too in the past and it works pretty well.

The only pics I've seen have been with the plinth and none of them have been close enough to see clearly how well/badly it fits.

Fits the same as on any other 911/Cayman.

You can always drill it yourself later - they’ll give you the plinth in a bag if you change your mind.

I think the car looks much better without the front plate, personally.

What is it these days? On the spot £100 fine?

Yeah me too but I have to stop and have an entry guard check my number plate every morning, so it's not an option for me!

Seen loads of these vids on UTube of super cars in London. None of the cars seems to have front plates. I really don’t think police are too bothered.

Fair enough - If I were to go one it would just be a vinyl stick on one.

Are you commuting in it?

Yes, I plan for it to be a daily.

Just spotted this on the Cayman R forum, absolutely brilliant idea, should be a similar radius on a GT4
I’ve got stick on front plates on all my Porsche’s and they are look fine but they do curve a bit with the shape of the bumper, this is the solution.

Look back a page on that thread for more info / supplier details.

I have the plinth and plate on my car. The bumper has pilot hole dimples so the plinth fits exactly where it should. It's perfect on my car, no fitment issues whatsoever.

Here is one of mine

My front bumper after 10 years of careless muppets attaching number plates - avoid screws if you can.

Thank you for sharing... I have asked the dealer to put the plinth in the boot and put a stick on on the car or leave it off and I'll do it myself.

Any chance you could post a link please? I could not find the post you are referring to.

Doubt the main dealer will send you out without a number plate ,always thought the plate had to have the p code on it .defo dont drill it

I didn't think they would either which is why I gave them the option of putting a stick on one. They are the ones who gave me the choice to not drill it though so I expect they must have a solution...

You can buy stick on ones which are fully compliant to the plate laws with makers name and BS number etc on the plate...

I drove mine away from the Centre with the vinyl number plate lodged on the dash en-route for PPE fitter.
