European License Plate Relocation - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I know many manufacturers make license plate relocation kits that utilize the tow hook mount, but they all seem to be for American license plates. I'll be moving to Europe eventually and was wondering if anyone knew of a kit that was compatible with European plates. If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd be very grateful.

Are you in the military .... ??

If so, they may issue you "USA" plates (that were the same size of states plates) ...... at least that's the way it was back-in-the-day.

The plate location may be dictated by European standards.....

I'll have to look into that. Thanks.

EDIT: humfrz, it looks like that's not a thing anymore. Back to square one. Thanks for the info though.

Most Euro countries have licenseplates sized for motorcycles.
They also get used to put on US import cars.
So you can problably use a relocation kit for an US vehicle and use a motorcycle plate with it.

Leave your car in the States and get an Alfa to drive when in Europe.

If there are no license plate relocation kits for Euro plates, can any of the European 86 owners here give me some mounting options that don't require drilling into the bumper?

Probably not going to help you relocate the plate but here's a no drill option I used on my BRZ. Works like a champ.
