A couple of weeks ago I saw two delivery trucks parked in our parking lot, side-by-side where there's really only room enough for 1.5 trucks. "Hmm," I thought, "Looks tight." Didn't think more of it until later in the day, when I noticed a big mushed-in part of the front bumper of my 335i.
I was looking at way over $1000 to buy a new BMW bumper skin, have it painted, have it re-covered in Venture Shield clear film, and re-install. But forum member cssnms came to the rescue with a second-hand bumper, already white, already clear-bra'ed, for a very reasonable price.
Then I had a conundrum: cssnms's bumper had nice painted plugs in the plate holes, and it looked really nice without the (Virginia mandatory) front plate on it. I decided to mount up a
Craven Speed Platypus mount to hold the plate, so when I go to meets or do some glamour photos of the car, I can easily revert to plate-less.
Ta-da!
So, okay, not such an exciting post. But I do have more of the license plate mounts if anyone wants 'em.
