hello from a former m3 driver
My s4 (a 2001) had a front licence plate, i live in nc and want to take the front plate holder off, however their are 4 3/4 inch holes in the bumper cover behind the licence plate cover. Local dealer said I have to replace the entier bumper cover at $450.00 plus paint and labor! The section the licence plate holder attaches to seem's to be a seperate piece......please help!

You are correct! There is a separate part - a plastic strip - that fits across the bumper. It is a cosmetic cover designed to cover the plate holes and hardware. It can be fopund at a dealer or at aftermarket parts vendors, too.

Hmmm.. are there any pics of that? I was thinking about removing mine as well, but I was gonna go the painted plastic bolts (round top) as a temporary measure till I had them filled and painted.

I have the same problem with my 2004 S4, it looks like there is a smaller plate that could be replace rather than the whole bumper, but I haven't looked into it yet...

Hey, welcome to the forums! Hope you find this site useful and entertaining. Sounds like a nice ride. Do you plan on modifying anything soon? You could always have the holes filled and then get your existing bumper repainted. That cost me about $350.00 at the dealer a few years back.
