Well...finally moved my front plates - VW GTI MKVI Forum / VW Golf ...

Not sure how I feel about this arrangement yet but it's perfectly reversible and no drilling was involved. As you can see from my signature, my front plates were offset to the right and held (ghetto-esque) with zip ties. Took OEM plate mount and attached it using the bottom guides and a zip tie in the middle hole.

I thought about getting the GoMiniGo side mount but hell that shit is expensive. I can create CAD drawings and give them to the technicians in my engineering dept. at school and create a mount from whatever stock is around if I was really ambitious.

My main concern right now is blocking air flow into the radiator. I'm no expert with fluid dynamics but there seems to be enough clearance behind the grill that air should be able to flow around my plate and not have stagnant wakes. Least I hope so anyways i know a few other members here have done this mod so can't be that bad?
