I bought a VW Beetle, new style, and I have a vanity plate for the front but I can't figure out how to get the danged thing on. There are no holes or mounting brackets or anything.|||DON'T DRILL YOUR BUMPER!!!
It's a cosmetic issue, but if you ever decide to take the front plate off you'll have ugly holes in your bumper. It's cost a friend of mine almost $500 to fix those holes at a body shop.
What you need to get is a Plate Mate. They have a website.
This thing attaches without drilling into your shiny brand-new bumper. The other bug owners at the forum below (which is my regular hangout and total godsend) are raving about it.
Maybe we'll see you at the fourm? It's all owners showing off their buggies and trading advice :)|||Look on the center of your front bumper cover. There should be two small, faint 'dimples' spaced about 8" apart. This is where your plate mounts.
Get 2 1/4" (or #14) self-drilling screws %26amp; a screw gun. The screws go through the UPPER holes of your plate, %26amp; into the dimples. Yup. Right into the plastic cover.
If you like, you can take the opportunity to add a frame or backer plate, available at Wal-Mart or any parts store.
