R50/53 Front License Plate
[First off I did a search but could not specific info so bear with me here if it has been discussed before.]
I just got my MCS delivered to my dealer (3 hours away) and will pick up this weekend but I have one little issue with the front plate bracket: I can't stand it! Front license plates are the worse for a cars facia. Anyways the dealer told me they would drill the holes for me and mount the bracker, which would normally not be a big deal but I have seen a few MCS's 'round here that actually have the front plate on the very bottom front grille, ingressed into the bumper. Anyone know what I'm talking about? If so how did you do it? Was it easy, just drill a couple of little holes on the black meash and the plate fits fine?
Any info is greately appriciated.
H.é.c.t.o.r.

Don't let them drill holes all over the front of your car unless you're sure. IIRC the aero kit has a lower plate mounting position and I think I even recall someone mentioning that the aero kit plate bracket can be purchased separately and adapted to the standard bumper. Don't quote me on this though.
