The Platypus License Plate Mount

Alfa Romeo Stelvio Front License Plate Mount

The Platypus is a front license plate bracket that is made in the USA to exacting specifications. It is one of the best Alfa Romeo Stelvio accessories for keeping your license plate holder legal with no drilling required.

Removable

In many states, you need a front plate on your Alfa Romeo, but that does does not mean you have to drill it in permanently. The Platypus is designed to fit the existing port on the front bumper of theStelvio for model years years from 2018 to 2025. This method of installing the frontplate is common and legal in all states that require front license plates. At times when the plate isnot needed, it can be removed easily, leaving no trace that it was ever there.

Quick Release

We believe that touchless is the only kind of automatic car wash anyone should subject their Alfa Romeo’spaint job to. If you absolutely need to use a rag car wash, then the Platypus should be removed to avoidgetting caught up in the machine. We have planned for this. Using the included stainless steel flatwrench you can loosen the bolt a quarter turn and then slide the plate off before the wash. This takesless than a minute. Although we have never had a plate backing come loose accidentally, each platebacking is balanced such that if it did the plate would hang and not fall off.

Extension Arm for Precision Fit

This kit uses an Extension Arm in order to fine tune the placement of your plate mount to avoid a foglight or other bumper feature on your Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2018-2025. To use the extensionarm, first screw in the aluminum stud then bolt the extension arm to it. Finally, attach the main plateto the extension arm and tighten, making sure it will not come loose.

The placement of this Platypus kit will avoid triggering the PDC sensors on your Alfa Romeo. At most, youwill need to manually adjust the angle of the plate once installed to ensure the whole plate is out ofthe sensors view.

Materials

The black powder-coated mounting plate is the full size of your license plate and includes stainlesssteel button head screws that look excellent.

The stud portion is machined from 6061 aluminum and black anodized. We make the studs at the high end ofthe receivers tolerance, that way the stud fits tight and stays put while you drive (this means that thestud will not go in without a wrench, like the stock tow hook does).

The hardware provided is the exact length for your plate mount and will not stick through the back toscratch your bumper, if you would like to install a plate frame or plate cover you will need a longer set of hardware here.
