Hello,

I recently purchased my 00 XJR and since new the front plate bracket has not been installed, therefore the bumper has not been drilled. Are there any alternatives out there to drilling the bumper? Perhaps something that mounts to a tow hook?

Thank you,

 

I just drilled 2 small holes for some self-tapping sheet metal screws and only installed the bottom 2 holes of plate on the lower 'lip' of the front bumper cover.

The back of the plate rests on the 'splitter-vane' and it angles down ever so slightly but I have not been 'pulled-over' and questioned about it.

I used a tilt-able universal bracket like this:

I think I drilled 2 holes up into the underside of the bumper to mount the bracket to (it’s been 5 or 6 years now).

Hmm, link doesn’t work. Enter “Bell Automotive 22-1-46230-8 Adjustable Mounting Bracket for License Plate Frame” into Amazon and I think it’s the same one.

I ordered the proper paint, and colored the bracket to match my bumper. Works for me.

 

just drill the holes, bumper is meant to be drilled
