Default Front plate-hide away

Anyone tried this on their A5/S5?

They even have a motorized one!

The plates are available on ebay too. Use "Show go plate" in the search.

That is slick. Color me impressed.

(As long as my plate doesn't end up on the side of the road somewhere.)

I bought one of these from Swift as well. It works and looks sweet. Very happy with it here.

This would be a no-brainer for the beautiful honeycomb grille of the RS5.

I've not chosen to do this on my S5 but I've removed the OEM plate holder, Carbon fibered the gray horizontal bars and placed my plate in a carbon fiber holder at very low/bottom of grille. Pretty happy with results.

Here is a link to a post of someonewho put one on his B8 A4 alonng w/ a few pics/videos of kind of how they did it. Some aspects should also apply to the A5/S5.
