Shortened number plate holder

Post by cmcm3 » Fri Apr 11, 2014 11:06 am

I have a 6-digit plate I'm planning to put on the rs4 when it arrives and like a short plate to minimise the amount of unoccupied white space. Has anyone shortened the front plate holder or is a shortened plate holder available from anywhere?

Thanks in advance!

You'll be able to buy a us or jap spec plate holder from audi or tps, alternatively you could cut a section out of a standard holder and plastic weld it back together then refinish it

Smart thinking. Will need to find a plastic welding expert. :beerchug:

Speak to your dealers parts department, there are a couple of sizes available for the plate holder. I know as I've asked the very same question.

Only thing I would off done different is screw the plate holder on then stuck the number plate on with double sided tape I just don't like the screw caps

I've got short plates too, that I will be transferring across when the new RS4 arrives, so will look at same options.

This looks like a good solution.

Does anyone have any pics of the rear of the plate holder and the grille and the fixings between the two?

Thanks heaps
