Carbonio front plate mount? Anyone have this?
Looking for options for front plate mounting and came across Carbonio. No drilling but mounts onto the grill. From what I can tell, I think it has only been out for a month or so. Just wondering if anyone here has this or knows about this one?

Do you happen to have any pictures mounted on your M2? I was wondering if it was possible to mount it slightly higher on grill than the picture of the mount on the M3

That is extremely nice! I want that on the M2 Competition. You can easily remove the plate for photos!

I also ordered the Carbonio license plate holder today. FWIW: I have one of their CF CAI for my Audi DD...impressive quality, so I'm hopeful of the same with the holder.
Also FWIW: I ordered and installed one of the BMS tow hook plate holders on my M2 LCI. http://www.burgertuning.com/tow_hook...ix_racing.html Quality of the part is also very good, but the mounting position was not working for me. Even when using the shortest mounting hardware supplied with the kit, the plate stuck out too far from the front of the bumper for my liking. I think the Carbonio will be a better solution, albeit at almost 5x the price of the BMS solution! Last edited by Voomar; 11-28-2017 at 05:52 PM.. Reason: typo |

Awesome tip, thanks - just ordered one. Pricey, but better than drilling holes, which I was actually gonna do 'cause I hate the look of tow hook mounts. Also killer timing, as my car could arrive at the dealer as early as tomorrow.

I'm planning to put some rare earth magnets inside the front bumper, and then glue some others to the front plate mount. I did this on my previous car and now on my wife's car in it works great, is cheap, though it is a bit of work. I attach the front plate whenever I park in SF and then pull it off when I leave.

Trying to figure out what I’m going to do - would love to see pics of this (and other center mount solutions) installed on an M2. Also looking at the sto n sho and the skene mounts - seems like the skene could get the plate a bit higher and block less air (not that I’m too concerned about it) - but haven’t seen any good pics installed. So if anybody could post pics of their installation, it would be very much appreciated!
