Colorado Front Plate

But I don't want to ruin the bumper.

I zip tied the plate to the grille for state inspection and it passed. So. I'll just keep rolling with it.

 

Your bumper will be fine. I'll admit the plate won't look great held on there with two screws, but it's not that big of a deal, is it?

People mounting the front plate on their vehicle can be such a decisive issue.


Look at this bracket ford uses on the Bronco. If I had a Bronco I'd uses that bracket just so people could react to it.

 

I was joking. See picture. My front chin thing is held on by self tappers.

It was hanging down after AOAA and then fell off on a climb in Kentucky and I drove over it. Tossed it in the bed and slapped it back on later.

I really don't really care either way.

 

FWIW when I got temp tags for my new truck they only gave me one

 

I dont run one on either my car or my truck. I've been laser'd from the front and pulled over in my car and not a mention of it.

 

that's the way it's always been.

get your new plates and they'll send you both.

 

Boulder CO traffic cops will fine you for not having a front plate. I don't see how this is a parking violation, likely something to do with revenue. Although it does mess with their ability to drive around and record plates so they know who to come back and fine...
I dont have a front plate on either of my vehicles, so I just got a dealer bag of Amazon. When I park there I open the hood, put the dealer bag (with my plate in it) around the latch and close the hood. problem solved.
I believe other cities are now doing the same :/

 

Not having a front plate is a silly fine. I def agree loose metal around my face is a no no. For some cops it’s a pet peeve & they love to write them other cops don’t care

 

i got stopped near woodland park near rainbow falls (middle of nowhere) in my bmw 335i, stopped for no front plate. she asked if i still had the plate and i was honest and said i didn't put it on because i thought it was ugly. got an "oh ok" and drove away with no ticket.

 

I can’t imagine LE care that much with half the cars in the state with expired temp tags or no plates at all.

 

I walked by a VW CC with Az temp tags dated 8-2019 today.

 

Some of the bougie Denver neighborhoods they will trawl the parking lots looking for violations but never got busted for it in El Paso and Larimer.

 

I made a front plate mount for mine - not wanting to go without as my daughter and wife also drive it - not wanting to hear it when/if they get pulled over. On the 2nd gen I had a plate frame that partially covered the registration sticker, my wife was driving and got a warning to remove the frame. I still hear about that today. Good to know about sports cars not getting pulled over, always wanted a different non-plate grill on the Audi.

I can't remember the last vehicle I've run a front plate on, been probably 10-15 years without issue. A fine is a small price to pay for a clean front end, Ill take the risk.
