Make New License Plate Clips In A Few Minutes (No Cost) - Pictures

Post by Slownrusty »

Here's a fun but easy project - cost is zero!

The spring steel clips that secure the license plate lights will tend to fatigue and break over time. This has happened to me twice now on two (2) different E24s.

You can make a new set in a few minutes.

I took thin wall aluminum flat stock that I had lying around and cut a small rectangle with my metal tin snips, folded it in half and then drilled the hole.

Perfect fit and no worries that your license plate light will hang down in the future..
