Default Please tell me that the TT doesn't come with a front license plate bracket?

Does it and if it does, is there a bunch of holes when you remove it on the front bumper? Please tell me no!!??

Default It sure does.

And they drill holes to install it.

Tell your salesman NOT to do this when you order the car and if they screw it up MAKE them replace the plate.

Also, make sure they don't put on a dealer license plate frame or any other dealership garbage on the car. Most dealers only use adhesive of sorts. Unfortunately, some of them get a little too happy with the drill and put far too many "decorations" on the car before you ever get to pick it up.

I told the dealer not to put it on and they followed my wishes, your the customer don't let them do it.

Default All TT's arrive at dealer with an unblemished front bumper. (more)

If you ask in advance, I think most dealers will leave the bracket unmounted.

Default Re: Us Albertans may get hosed

The dealer here in Calgary had two TT's come in
last week, and a third this week. I got to see
each one essentially as it came off the truck,
and unfortunately all of them had a front plate
mounting already riveted on. Alberta requires
only the rear plate by law, which adds insult to
injury. :~(

As a side note, I've had the ability to eye-ball
the Canadian low-speed impact bumper add ons.
They are not, in my opinion, up to the standard
of TT fit & finish quality. Quite clearly they
are just stuck onto the existing TT bumper,
leaving a noticeable (and in some instances
unevenly gapped) seam running the length of the
addition. Bummer.

Still, the vehicle is so stunning in all other
respects that these matters are not likely to
make any difference for most of us. This ain't
sour grapes, it's IMHO a testament to the amazing
design of this car. Still can't wait to get mine,
plate brackets and bumper bulges notwithstanding.
