Help with front license plate - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

I got a really cool looking German style license plate for a gift. A Bavarian Auto one the same as my CA personalized plate.

I currently do not have a front palte because I didn't want holes drilled into the front bumper. But I think this one may look good up front. I would like to know if anyone has any ideas or experience attaching a front plate some way without drilling holes?

Will out door double stick tape ruin the paint when removed etc? I may want to take it off for certain driving conditions or fun runs (Bay area guys know what I mean).

Any help will be appreciated.

My advice is dont use anything that might not hold- it would be very bad if that came off while you were driving. you could cause damage to yourself and or others. As much as you want to use it, your best bet might be to simply to mount it around your desk somewhere to remind you of the fantastic car while youre not in it

Barry: the plate should have come with a mounting kit. I think there's a reason they drill holes. Adhesives won't cut it. Personally, I'd follow ME's suggestion and put it up somewhere.
