[quote name='IrishEyes' date='Dec 11 2004, 12:39 PM']BTW, the license plate thingy on the front bumber/fender - is it a requirement in the US?
From what I can see it only looks like the dealers advertising.? If it is not a requirement, I reckon I would take it off to see what a clean face looks like.

that's the license plate frame and requires in certain states, not all . i have that frame but instead of my license plate, i put the bmw emblem plate .

Good one but can u take it off if u want?
I would or at least replace it with something a little smaller. Just enough to stop the frame of the current sized plate descending off the actual bumper line and in to the air dam below. Just a tiny thing but sometimes subtleties are in the eye of the beholder.

Cheers

you can and some members have done this. just need to get couple plugs to fill the holes . or you can ask your dealer do not install it ahead of time.

Asked the dealer not to install the front plate. He said that the dealership got "dinged" by the DMV, so now every car is "required" to have a front plate before leaving the dealership.

Nice car, but the wheels are G.A.Y. sorry to say. Too much bling for my liking.

BBS top of the line racing wheels = blingange?!?!?? Shows how much you know... If they were solid chrome or spinners, I would agree with you. Maybe its time you come out of the closet with a remark like that...
