    Another Front Plate Thread!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum after reading it daily for the last 6 months or so.

    While my car is still completely stock when I bought it used it didn't come with a front plate and I live where front plates are unfortunately required and the police have nothing better to do then write tickets.

    Anyways, after hearing the OEM plate is several hundred bucks and frankly looks bulky & cheap, especially on the RS5 grill I decided to make my own with about 20 bucks of McMaster-Carr parts (picture below). I personally think it looks way cleaner than OEM and is for sure 10 times cheaper. If anyone is interested I can post part lists / how-to but wanted to throw it out there before spending that time.

    Stock (for now) but capristo exhaust is top on the list if I ever want to break the seal

    Nice. Now for extra points make one of these slip-ons for use when airport parking or in any other meter attendant area.

    Really? I think it looks decent enough on these cars.
