You can see a pic at gominigo.com

My advice? Don't drill. You can always drill yourself later if you really want to, but once it's done (either by your or the dealer) there's no going back.

I definitely agree about the looks. The front of the R56 doesn't look nearly as "bulbous" with the license plate mounted. Think of it as an appearance upgrade!
