Default front plate relocation

I thought was time to show off the nice front end and relocate the plate to the tow hook mount. The position clears both sensors easily. I used a RhoPlate mount from a company in BC. All the parts appear to be anodized aluminum.

Looks great!
I was thinking of doing mine, but was worried about the sensors.

In this shot, you can see how far away the sensors are from the plate

Thanks for the shot. I am glad there are no problems with reflections or blockage from the plate. I guess I'll put in an order today.

Here is a shot from above - the plate faces forward but also angled with the contour of the car

I tried a very similar product and while it looked the same and was placed the same, on my TT RS, I could never get it to stop causing false alerts on the radar sensor system. I even had a shorter "stem" that had the plate only a mm off the bumper and could never get it to work.

Look forward to seeing other reports on this one, especially with the TT RS.
