I just bought a 21" German plate for my 1998 A6. I bought a license plate holder, but I don't really have any idea how to install it. From the pictures I've seen, it goes inbetween the air intakes and the grille, but do I have to drill holes in the front or what? There is no indent where the plate is supposed to go, also. I am not very mechanically inclined, as you can probably tell, but I would really like to mount it. Can anyone with experience help?
I bought an Altec mounting screws package for the plate too.
A nice piece of $2.99 industrial strength velcro works very nicely. It came with 2 pieces, so I stuck 1 on each end of the frame, about 4" from the end. It looks really nice and should be weatherproof.

Industrial 3M double sided foam tape works perfectly for a nice flush finish, too. It is very strong and holds the plate very well.
You don't use the plate holder; you mount the plate directly to the bumper. Just be sure to measure perfectly (check your measurements twice) and be sure to have a steady hand when applying the plate. Once on, the plate will be on for a long time!
