No Holes License Plate Bracket Kit BMW Installation Instructions

This kit allows the owner of any BMW to attach a front license plate to their BMW without the need to drill holes. BMW has always attached the front license plate by drilling the front bumper and permanently mounting the plastic license plate bracket to the front bumper with screws. The ‘NO HOLES’ kit mounts the front license plate utilizing the front tow hook attachment point. The kit comes complete with all mounting hardware, including the screws to affix the license plate to the bracket. The bracket allows for the mounting of normal size US License plates, Rallye Plates and European style plates.

Installation Instructions:
1. Utilizing the small straight slot screwdriver or the BMW tow point cover removal tool, remove the access cover for the front tow hook mounting point located on passenger side of the front bumper. Gently pull plastic retainer to remove cap from car. Store cap in a safe place to reinstall later if desired.
2. Insert the ‘NO HOLES’ tow hook adapter bolt into the tow point and tighten with the 19mm wrench.
3. Install the license plate bracket onto the ‘NO HOLES’ tow hook adapter bolt, then install the lock washer and the 19mm bolt. While holding the license plate bracket in a level position, tighten the 19mm bolt until the bracket is secure.

To install the license height adjusters, select the hole of the desired height and insert the bolt through the height adjuster and the license plate bracket and install washer and lock nut. Repeat for other side of license plate bracket. Next install license plate to upper and lower holes of the adjuster plates. See diagram on right.
