Description of πŸš— iJDMTOY No Drill Front Bumper Tow Hook License Plate Mounting Bracket Adapter Kit for Volkswagen VW MK5 MK6 Golf GTI EOS, Audi TT, and More

Compatible with 2006-2014 Audi TT (MK2), 2006-2016 Volkswagen EOS, 2006-2009 Volkswagen MK5 GTi (only fit the ones with tow hole), 2010-2014 Volkswagen MK6 Golf/GTi, 2010-2014 Volkswagen MK6 Jetta Sportwagon ONLY (Doesn't fit Jetta sedan) (Please note: this vehicle uses a reverse thread pattern so the rod will need to be tightened counterclockwise during installation). No modification required! The billet aluminum rod screws into the original towbar opening to support the number plate instead of drilling into the bumper. Unlike the "copycats" on the market, our license plate relocation panel is made of black powder coated steel instead of aluminum; much stronger, more durable and better prevents the license plate from spinning due to high-speed driving. Panel also comes with 8 different mounting locations to best keep the license plate from blocking intake vents / lights / parking sensors with angle adjustment for plates to follow the curve of the bumper.

Five stars from me!

Ideal for MK5 Jetta, GTI, GLI, Golf, Passat etc. Very high quality metal, suitable for traditional number plates. There are nine different places where a license plate can be placed. Very good product.

Pros
  • Still satisfied
Cons
  • Frequency

Not suitable for MK5 Rabbit

Not suitable for my MK5 Rabbit. The bar that fits into the tow hook slot was not long enough to reach the bumper. I would go back but opted for a mounting plate to mount the front number plate. Do not buy for MK5 Rabbit/Golf.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons

Fits 2018 Tiguan - Frame

Fits 2018 Tiguan. It's not as close to the bumper as I'd like, but for $24 it's fine with me. I had to add a 1/4" flat washer and lock washer behind the screw that attaches the plate. I also lubricated the threads with Loctite to keep them from twisting. Haven't moved yet. I like the way it is it looks and I didn't have to drill the front bumper.

Pros
  • Lots of good vibes
Cons
  • Slightly dented

I like that I don't have to drill any holes.

I haven't found any yet that haven't shifted and had to be fixed periodically. This one is no exception. I love that I don't have to drill holes in the bumper to fit the license plate, but that's a problem. No matter how you put it on, the plate always moves. Don't even think about driving this car through an automatic car wash. This particular model sticks out quite a bit from the bumper and looks a bit odd when everything is centered. If you stagger it, it will curl up a little more.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • some bugs

I received it today and was thrilled to put it on.

Received this today and was happy to install it on my 2017 Volkswagen GLI and it came with no instructions. It wasn't hard to figure out, but it would help. It claims it doesn't interfere with the front parking sensors, but they just go nuts over this thing. It works but is very weak and even with the shims on the plate still moves a little. I would buy Platypus if it wasn't so expensive. Will return it and just spend the extra money on it. So buyers beware. It looks decent, but too wide in my…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Almost never

External Accessories

The jury is still out. Of course it was only installed one day, but I see possible problems. First, there are no instructions. There is a QR code that takes you to the JDM website, but there are no installation instructions for my particular machine. No matter how hard I try, I can't close it all the way. There is another game. They also use inexpensive hex head screws that have shallow recesses. I haven't ridden it much since installing it, but I'm concerned it will move. Then there's the…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some difficulties

No powder coating, sticks out too much, turns too easily

It was packaged poorly and the bracket was simply taped to the hardware pouch. Like they just found it. The mounting post was not powder coated and protruded too far forward. I measured 1.25 inches from the front of my bumper. I don't think it was made for my GTI mk7 as advertised. The photos in the description show that the plate is much closer to the bumper. When I was working on the engine, I scratched my foot on the edge of the oven several times. Mounting in a corner will cause the panel…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • A newer model could have been chosen

Close, but there are better options.

I was hoping this would be a good alternative to other companies' $100 version, but it isn't. I will still buy an alternative but that will take me another week. Here are some highlights: Good: - Tow hook securely attached - Lots of mounting holes for different positions - Plate fits the license plate well Cons: - Huge clearance! Like an inch when set vertically. The manual says it's normal, but in my condition it's considered a violation as someone could get hurt through their own stupidity. -

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Big and Bulky
