'NO HOLES' License Plate Mounting Kit

We have joined here as a vendor. We currently have in stock a relocation kit for front license plate. Existing license plates are mount to the front bumper by drill holes in to the bumper and mount the black license plate mount. This process ruins your bumper and does not afford you the owner to keep the front of your Smart looking 'SMART'.

Our kit allows you to mount the license plate just off center utilizing the existing tow hook mounting point. The little plug pops off and our kit has a bolt that you insert into the mount and tighten down. Then you attach the brackets and install you plate. All parts of the kit are made from stainless steel and we provide all the hardware need to mount your plate. We even include allen head screws and locknuts for the plate. After your plate is mounted it very easy to remove with a wrench for cleaning or showing off your car.

We also have an optional europlate mount. This would allow you to put on a EuroPlate for that special occasion.

We will have photos of our kit on a Smart up this weekend and on our website. We will be the Seattle Dealership Saturday installing a demo and taking photos.

You can find more info at www.gominigo.com

Bolts for Tow Holes

Is the bolt for the tow hole a std, readily available metric bolt ?

The tow hole in the rear being the same as the front, is the mounting point for racks etc.

If the bolt you use is proprietary, do you sell them separate ?

Thank you

The bolt is a non-standard bolt, my business partner and I are looking into the back two bolts and the length they need to be to mount gear to the back. Since we use stainless and 19mm bolts it would be a great fit. I am sure we can have something for the back also.

Group buy?

Are we doing one? Dave, would you need the orders to come in all at once or could you take 'em individually, and when would the group buy end? Thanks!

I just placed my order a little while ago if you want to count me towards it

PS: Just wanting to confirm that it is a different bolt then the Mini one..? (if they are the same I wouldn't need another and I'd like to take the one I have to the Smart dealer)

The bolts are different lengths, the MINI bolt is much longer. It will stick out to far.

For a Group Buy we would need all the orders at one time, and then shipped to one address. The group buy would end when the order is placed. Group buys are normal contolled by one person.
