I've got a 21" Euro plate that I'd like to mount on my car. Has anyone else removed the plate in front? Are there holes behind it?

Right now there aren't any holes drilled in the front bumper, since Michigan doesn't require a front license plate.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm in OH which does require a front plate. I'm wondering if I get a euro plate to match my legal vanity plate will I get away with it?? ;-)

How amusing -- my Dodge has 'MMCXII' plates (will be on my S4)

'2112' is already taken as a vanity plate here in Michigan. Along with 'YYZ', 'GEDLEE', 'FORCE10', 'BRAVADO', and probably a host of others.

'SYRINX' would make a sweet plate though.. hmm!!

There are 5 tabs on the bottom adge of the removable piece. If you put a flat blade screw driver into the slot where the tab is, pull down on the removable plate as you have the screw drive in the slot. You have to do this for each tab. I started on one and and worked my way over. It was a pretty tight fit. After you have all the tabs released, you then bend the removable piece inward a bit to release the two clips on the sides.
You should be good to go then.
Let me know if you need any more help.

Are there holes under the plate? Or will I have to drill?

The holes are in the configuration for the normal US plate mounting bracket. You probably won't like the way the hole that is left after you take insert off is going to look. I would just attach the Euro plate to the insert piece and leave it at that. The insert piece has a part number on it. Just buy another one and replace it when you sell the car. I'm "customizing" my normal US plate to fit on the insert. I don't like the way the US plate bracket breaks up the lines on the front of the car.
