Front license plate
Does anyone have a good solution for a front license plate holder and location? Until I find a good way to it, mine's "location" is on the back floor<G>.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Has anyone found a part number for the front plate filler pieces on the allroad? I can find the horizontal ones for sedan B9 A4 online for $30 all day but nothing for the allroad with those two vertical pieces. The dealership told me $66 each and never gave me the part number(s).

Seems like a lot of people owning various Audi models have issues with the front license plate (either getting rid of the bracket, or needing to mount a front license plate and not having a bracket). I just picked up a 2017 allroad with a bracket that I'd like to remove (I'm in a state not requiring front license). Can I just remove the two "screws" and pull off the bracket? Is there something under there besides the 2 holes? Is this the situation where you need the filler pieces discussed above? Thanks for any advice.

AFAIK the "filler panel" is the horizontal smooth panel in the area highlighted in purple on the attached photo. Mine has two rectangular inserts that look like they can be knocked out to fit the front plate bracket, but I haven't tried that yet.

sccooper's photo makes me think the "filler panels" are NOT the entire horizontal bar--just the two rectangular plugs that blank out the holes when no front plate is installed.
That tempts me to try to pop those plugs out and see what I can do to fit an old SAAB bracket I have in the garage. The allroad would make a nice place to show tribute to the 2001 SAAB 9-5 wagon -- one helluva great car, well-balanced combination of comfort and performance, all in a great-looking body.
