Front Plate Tow Hook

I just got a fix it ticket for a front plate. I need to get it written off, so I figure I'd buy one of those tow hook mounts, get it written off, and then remove it and live life front plate free again.

Will those plates designed for the F32 work for my F82? Since I'm only going to be using this thing for all of 10 minutes, I'm looking for the cheapest option. Those that state they are designed specifically for the M4 are at least 4x the cost #Mtax. Thanks for any help!

Get a regular plate holder and tape the holder to the bumper. The cop can't see the holder screw holes. Use 3M automotive tape. Heat it up when you remove so it doesn't peel piaint/PPF.

Use the OEM bracket and zip tie to the lower grille. I have that setup on standby in the boot just in case.

Right I'm the asshole. You are trying to cheap out on a plate holder to avoid paying a ticket. Cheap x2. I don't run a front plate and paid the ticket once out of the 5 times I've been pulled over. I don't act dumb and say oh my plate fell off. My advice is sound for someone who is trying to get out of a meer front plate ticket. Cops aren't stupid. Good luck. You can tie some twine to the plate and tie it to the lower grille 🙂

It may not be the cheapest solution out there but I think its the best looking I have seen for sure. https://www.stratosmeccanica.com/
