PDC (Park Sensors) Yes
I'm still debating as my state is one of those states that require a front plate. Although I have been getting plenty speeding tickets I have yet to receive one for the front plate missing.
Thanks Petah--MA requires a front plate unless you have an old school "green" plate, which I do not. However, there are enough cars with one plate on the road that I don't worry too much about it. My friend who is a cop said he would never pull me over for it, but if he noticed it after pulling me over would write a ticket for it. My excuse on my VW would be that I bought it in the south so it didn't have the plate. I could make up a similar one getting pulled over in the S8 so I'm not concerned about it and would keep my front plate in the car so that I could prove that I have it if need be.
If you want to sell it to me, I'll take it
Chris--Thanks for the heads up; I saw that the other day when I was navigating through, and then that screen navigated me somewhere else which navigated me somewhere else...I think that is how I ended up in Russia
Sorry I meant to take some pictures and post it. I'm still on the fence because I like the look of the Euro plates!
I'll let you know for sure by Monday!

Being in the same shoes that you are I have been battling myself on whether to do the plate delete filter (w/ sensors). My antiques I only run one plate even though I'm required to have two. The cops are to busy staring at the chrome and rarity they have never bothered me for not having s front plate. When I had the bmw it didn't have a plate mount they never nabbed me then either. I think if your driving a nice car and not driving like an idiot it goes unchecked.
If you did a euro plate filler, can you attach any old euro plate?
I run the plate delete part. Have not had any issues with law enforcement. Just keep the old filler panel just in case, and claim that the car came that way and you didn't think drilling holes into a $100K car was wise.
4 phillips head screws in the lower section as shown, 2 more screws behind the US spec plate. Lift/swing up from bottom like a hinge, pop out and replace. Not even a 5 minute job!
