Default euro plate mounting

I recently bought a europlate with the universal mount kit and hardware from euro part importers. I can't figure out how to mount the damn thing on my 2003 A41.8TQM...anyone got any help for me?

Default The plate actually looks quite nice using just double-sided adhesive tape (no mount).

Default Drill new holes in the plate to line-up with the existing holes in your bumper- forget the frame.

Agreed, though as I mentioned below, 3M adhesive works just as well, and with no holes in the plate.

Default Nope. I used a full role of the 3M super-heavy-duty. They have one specifically for outdoor use.

Cover the back of the plate, clean the bumper, and press hard (bend to contour like you mentioned).

Teddy also did this on his A4 with the same result -- I think if I tried to remove it, it would take part of the bumper with it...
