If set below the front bumper, the plate will almost surely get crunched by a
curb or something, eventually. My dad mounted the front bumper on our 100M
from
a couple of thick, reinforced rubber/fabric straps so it'll give when hit.
Also, at the speed at which you'd be concerned the plate should be deflected
backward sufficient to deflect radar (though I suspect there's enough frontal
area to give a good radar return anyway--I've never seen radar used in a
'head-on' setup).
