Default My Ibisweiß A5 Sportback - Photo'ed

After waiting years (not kidding), I finally have an Ibis White A5 SB. These photos don't do her justice but I'll attempt it anyway.

Nope.

Looks like it was delivered by the big cumulonimbus cloud above it. Nice picture and the SB looks great!

As soon as I saw your post, I emailed Mashell over at Sto N Sho - Quick Release Front License Plate Bracket to remind her about the '18 S5 plate holder, waiting on her reply.

She's asking what the changes were from '17 to '18 and I think it's a complete refresh, no?
Apparently some holes did need to be drilled in the under carriage of the '17 model but not sure if the plate mounting has changed on the '18.

Even if holes need to be drilled, the benefits in looks far outweigh that hands down, I will be ordering one for sure and am pressing them to make one available.

When I found this solution for the F-Type and presented it to the Jaguar forums, sales skyrocketed on that item...perfect solution for that application since nothing needed drilling.

Here's how the 2013-'16 S5 plate mounted...can anyone crawl under their car and snap a picture like this? I will email to them.

You can see how much lower the new plate mounts versus the stock location.

I am with you. This is the first state I've lived in where a front plate was required and it sucks.

i didn't mind the German plates but the fat US ones kill the front end look.
