Default euro plate...tape it or drill it?

posted a while back with this question without much response...kinda worried about the paint if i use something so incredibly sticky...but also not the least bit thrilled about drilling holes...

what's the best way to do the euro plate???

TIA

Default Tape instead of Drilling

I haven't taped a Euro Plate so I may be out of bounds here but drilling is kinda scary. I taped my S4 rear lip and it holds Extremely well. 3M automotive tape is the way to go I think.

Default buy a universal holder that you can use the existing holes

if you dont have holes. don't put the plate on

Default negative. while it's safer than holes. don't need to use it if you already have holes from

the dealer.

Default If you have existing holes, make new holes in the plate to match. If no existing holes, tape.

Holder is too bulky.

universal holder, existing holes, bend the plate to the shape of the bumper then place in the universal holder.



End of story
