Need front plate bracket
I live in Jersey and would rather have one than get hassled with dumb tickets. The E55 I just purchased does not have a plate bracket. Obviously no holes in the front bumper. What is the best solution/bracket to not ruin the bumper? I would like to not offset the plate as it would just look extra dumb...

yeah i am lowered i did break it once but was able to fix it if u plan on getting lowered you would need to be a bit more causious and i would recommand to mount it to the left of the car or right for more clearance when your going over driveways and speed bumps. i also have a front lip as well so it sits about 2.5inchs lower. I found it off ebay for the best price i cant cut and paste for some reason but if you go on ebay and type in the search function " hideaway plate they have them with a remote and manual ones.

I ended up mounting the retractable under middle of front bumper. have bottomed out a few times but can easily bend the tracks back into place. I haven't driven with plate in up position yet haha. Only there incase I see a checkpoint ahead.
