Proper placement of front bumper euro plate on MC?

Sorry to start up another thread, but I've looked; Can't find proper placement for where to install the Euro Tag Universal Plate holder. I have an MC, and can't locate any "pre-tapped" holes, indentions, or the like. I've 3M red taped the plate to the bumper, but it's pulling up a little. Want to install proper, but not keen on drilling. Any help? Maybe someone at MOTD could help?

Thanks much.

on the MC, take off the front plate, the nremove the bracket that the license plate holder bolts on to. when you remove the body colored piece that the plate connects to, you will see two holes to where you can screw the euro plate frame onto. the plate will sit flush with the body and look very nice. check my gallary for pics of my GF MC (has an S hood, dont be fooled) it might not be a very close up shot but you can see where the piece has been removed. good luck!

Just to add to Downsize's instructions, the existing plate holder (for standard size license plates) is held on with screws and double-sided tape, so may need some persuading, but it will come off.

I believe the technical term used on other threads and forums for the original plate holders is "ugly hunk of plastic".
