Front plate
The Ontario government hinted at eliminating the need for a front plate but ultimately decided to keep it law.
Obviously I was very disappointed as nothing should obscure the front end of an F type. I received 2 tickets last year for not having it on my 2015 so I am looking at options. I know of the removal bracket from other threads but has anyone mounted one off to the side? I seen a few corvettes on the weekend and I don’t mind the look. Ive asked the dealer not to drill holes in the front cross bar on my soon to arrive 2020 so I’m looking at the best option. Thanks |

Thanks This past government also published a website a few years ago asking people to give feedback on what mattered to them. Getting rid of the front plate and increasing speed limits, as I recall, was # 1 or #2 - #5, somewhere in this range... the government quickly took down the feedback they didn't like and eventually killed the site. A Jaguar mechanic friend of mine placed a piece of metal behind the front grill and fastened earth magnets to the back of my plate and it worked great. No holes and as soon as I crossed the border, I just pulled it off. Now my FtypeR is Florida plated, so no front plate necessary. Going to do the same on my new FPace SVR. Lawrence |
I bought mine used, and unfortunately, holes were pre drilled. I would like to cover it somehow, just not sure if I will have to replace the cross piece and if so, how much.

Sto-n Sho...not to be confused with show and go. Solid design...super easy to install.

Thanks and I think I’ll go with the Sto n Sho. The Hide the Plate option is not available for now as the owner has health issues according to the web site.

There were already holes in the crossbar, so until I get the chance to install the P7 grill, I trimmed and bent my front plate to fit the bar (and cover the holes). Not legal to modify a license plate, but hopefully any cop will see this as better than no plate and I can avoid a ticket.
Good so far... https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.jag...f3c5c08df6.jpg |

I use my tow-hook mount only for annual state inspection. No one has bothered me about running one plate in 6 years.

Ordered Sto-N-Sho on Amazon.com on 5/22. Received and installed 5/24. Easy. I'll likely carry it in my trunk and slide in when needed.

It appears that enforcement in CA is spotty, though rigorously enforced in S.F.

I removed the ugly big front plate and replaced it with a sticker with a photo of the real plate. The sticker covers the holes in the front bar and I have the original plate in the trunk with double-sided tape already installed so I can stick it on the front of the car if the police forces me to do so. So far I’ve seen that the police has eyeballed me a couple of times but they’ve never stopped me, A bit surprising since the front plate
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.jag...a3403bdee.jpeg e is absolutely required by law in DK. It is also surprising is that this half-size number play does not give any trouble with pay by plate systems, which are used here for toll roads, bridges and parking. |
