I picked up my S in Dallas Texas and took the long way home back to Oregon a few months ago. Oregon law states you must have a front and rear license plate for your vehicle and my S didnt come with the OEM bracket. The bolt covers are on the car still and I want to be compliant.
Is the OEM bracket the best and least expensive option in this case or are there other options that a functionable?
I used a Jaguar front license plate holder, drilled a new mount hole to allow it to clear my splitter and mounted it using OEM bumper bolt location with a longer M6 bolt.
I've had my front plate recessed inside the grille area for 14 years, and it's worked great. I just trimmed almost 1/4" off the top and bottom edge of the plate, and took a thin strip of black duct tape and covered the edge so it won't scrape the paint on the car. Then I ziptied it to the grille.

I did what he did on my Ap2 and it looks great. Saved me some cash.
