Default Front license plate solutions

I am trying to find a front license plate solution. I just got a new bumper and I don't really want to mount the OE license plate bracket because it ruins the appearance of the front of the car. I saw a retractable holder that mounts on the interior of the bumper making it invisible when retracted but am skeptical. have anybody come up with any creative solutions? Any opinions on the matter?

so here is my solution. I just bent my plate on the top and bottom to give it a "euro" feel. Its an ontario plate.

Haven't broken it, but I think it's a novelty. It has been used hundreds of times though...
The manual one probably the one to have if you need something a bit more rugged.
