Mounting new Euro plates.

PikaBitca · 05-17-2013, 06:38 AM

Hi guys.

My 328i currently has regular slimline plates mounted to them. Just ordered regular Euro plates. Was wondering if anyone has advice for how to mount them? Will i have to be drilling into the car (really want to avoid that). Or should i just bring it back to the dealer for assistance? Is there a how to guide somewhere out there?

I wouldn't be drilling any holes in the car, I would be drilling holes in the plates if it was me.

Cancel the order on the euro plates IMHO large plates kill the look of the car. Otherwise drill holes in the plate to match the holes. I have always had to do it to fit my rear plates

I always use double-sided tape for my plates - no drilling required.

Me too. And euro-style plates are perfect on the F30, that's what the car was designed to take.
