Wow!!! Love your garden's Gazing Globe under the house's window.

It brings back memories of my grandmother's....that I shot with my BB-gun.

 

Which version of the holder is that? Is it the Short or Very short. Reason for asking is that on your car it's blocking quite a portion of the middle opening whereas I will have another oil cooler behind that (it's an X51) which would need unobstructed air flow.

I too can attest to the Skene bracket. I am using it on my R8 and it has held up for over a year now without any slipping or problems. A really inexpensive solution. I also did the same as Brianja - mounted some rubber pads on the vertical metal arms of the bracket in case someone bumps into the license plate.

 

This is the "short". The "extra short" did not work on the sport design bumper.

The height of the plate is adjustable on all of the brackets. Since I don't have the X51 I wanted it shifted down into that opening more. If I had X51 and didn't want to block the airflow I would adjust it up so that it is more in front of the bumper face.

 

Thanks very much. I have the Sport Design front and rear so I did order the correct "Skene" holder.

We need photos of the Skene on someone's car?

Thanks in advance

 

???

I've posted photos of it on my car twice now. Do you mean on a standard front bumper?

 

Brianja, this looks the best. Is it durable...that is...sustain high speeds etc?

All, it's available here: http://skenedesign.com/FPBracket/Order.shtml

 

It's actually a more solid mount than I had anticipated. I haven't done any very high speed testing, but it has seen plenty of highway driving without a problem.

I think a big part of making it solid is adjusting the plate so that the rubber bumpers on the back are resting on (or just off of) the bumper face. That way some of the force from wind gets transmitted into the face of the bumper and doesn't solely go to the two mounting screws. It also helps that I've adjusted the height of mine so that the angle brackets are near the center of the plate. This keeps the force of the wind from generating a large moment on the attachment point... trying to rip them out.

 

Anybody have trouble with a clear bra on with this mounting plate? I.e. putting "stress" on the "skin"?

 

I used tow hook plate mounting on the last 3 911's
you can buy from the dealer or on line. They work great.

 

Do these look great too??

 

I just installed the tow-hook type and am really satisfied; it spins on or off in less than a minute. I also have the aero-kit and there's still enough clearance for unobstructed spinning.

 

Another great alternative to the stock front mounting bracket.

 

I love this plate!
