Sorry, I haven't update my profile lately - I am in NB

 

Did they just recently get rid of front plates there? I was surprised to find out there's only 3 provinces that mandate them, as I assumed it was the majority and that Alberta (where mine came from) was in the minority.

 

Yikes, no matter you complain about the winter. NB gets damn cold.

 

yep, our current government finally took us our of the pre-dinosaur period and made our province like Quebec, NS, PEI and NL...They also introduced the Motor Vehicle Inspection every 2 years except for a new car where your inspection is valid for 3 years! I try and not make political statement but when a government does something that makes sense, we have to applaud it! So...."applause"

 

Was it like Ontario, where the purported reason was to cut costs? What's this about inspections though -- every vehicle requires them now, every 2 years? Is that for pollution standards? We had that in BC but they scrapped it a few years ago. Only inspections now are if you bring a vehicle in from out-of-province, or to certify a rebuild or something like that.

 

** Not trying the bring the thread off-topic **

AtomicAWD - In the maritime provinces, we were required to have an MVI (Motor Vehicle Inspection) every year - They would check for brake wear, suspension problem, failed headlights, worn tires, cracked windshield, leaking exhaust, damaged wiper blades...It was a flat fee of 35$ annually or so. The objective was to remove unsafe vehicles off the road by forcing repairs being done. I get that part, but this doesn't make sense for brand new vehicles to have done yearly so our province followed other maritime provinces by reducing the frequency to "every 2 years" and when you buy a brand new car, it is valid for 3 years. These MVIs are not a bad thing, there are way too many vehicles on the road that are not safe and putting some people at risk....but doing it this way seems a bit more logical and responsible in my books.

And yeah, every provinces have their own rules when it comes to MVI....a bit hard to stay on top of each provinces. I hope Ontario and others will follow suit on the 1 licence plate issue.

 

Yes, as I have intentionally NOT put holes in my grill, hopefully this helps BC get onboard... then I can remove it and have a clear and pristine grill

 

I’ve been really satisfied with my “Sly Bracket” mount for the front license plate over here in Germany. I got it before I left the States since I knew I was going to have to have a front license plate over here (didn’t have one in Georgia). It’s a bracket that hooks in the grill and does no damage and requires 0 modifications.

 

I had looked at those, but the pics they have on their site show it sitting very low, like mine:



Appears you managed to get it up higher, almost to the stock position. Based on the design, it looked to me like it should be possible.

 

Yeah, before I bought my RC and the law changed here, I had a "universal bracket" with many openings for maximum flexibility and "zip tied" that bracket onto my mesh without having to drill any holes too. I know many dislike the predator grill but that is one advantage of it, lots of patterns to hang it onto. I couldn't have done that with an Acura or other brands....

 

I just reversed one of the pieces and that made it go high up instead of low lol. It was pretty simple.
