GTR Front License Plate

In Europe as far as i can tell you may be fined for not have a number plate on the front and back. Fines can be as much as 1000£/€, but 60-100 is often mentioned. If fined you will probably also get an order to correct things. Lots of people mention super car owners not putting plates on the front, and nothing happens. I’ve see some owners use a smaller sized plate, like the type on motorbikes. Things are different from one place to another. Lots of photos of super cars in London without front plates. Never seen a car without front plates in Spain, Italy, France, ... but there are some really oddly formatted plates on some U.K. cars driving around in Spain.

I agree with all of your comments and I saw the pic you're referring to, he used double sided tape as a temp mount, doesn't work for a permanent solution. I ordered this bracket from https://www.slybrackets.com/ . You want the mesh grill model for a GTS. (For the GTR, I'm not sure but I don't think either the mesh or horizontal model will work and after looking at the pics the OEM bracket looks like the best option.) Pic below is off their website, not my car. It is a NO holes, easy install bracket. Well made, all powder coated, stainless hardware....it's the best solution I could find...$75.00, $92 shipped. Hope this helps.

Yes, been very happy with the setup, no issues. Added a plate frame, also put 1/16” thick double-sided tape covered with clear tape on the back/center of the plate where the “beak” of the bumper is in the event the air load at speed put the plate in contact with the paint, no issues there either. The OEM plate holder is a horror show IMHO, I threw it in the trash. This thing is very easy to install, you’ll need to arrange the spacers/position to fit your car.

I use the Sto and Sho - 1 bolt, no drilling in the bumper or grill, or double-sided tape; plus you can remove the plate in seconds:
