Default Does anyone know where to find an "Audi" front license plate

I live in Florida. Front License plates are not used here but my stupid dealer put the bracket and the "dealer plate" on my german buddy anyway. I have heard that the bracket leaves fairly major scars on the paint so I am opting for the next best thing. Does anybody know where I can find a front license plate with possibly the four ringed audi logo (hopefully metal or steel). I might as well make the best of the stupid front plate. I have seen car logo plates on lots of cars with front plates where I live. I HATE the fact that dealers feel it is "right" put the STUPID front plate bracked on in a stat e where it is not required by law!

I got one at Greenfield Imported car parts for the same reason. It's made of 1/4" gloss black plastic with engraved chrome Audi rings. Dealer did the same thing to me. The salesman even wrote down that I only had one plate but setup drilled anyways $#@%. The plate does look good though if that's any consolation. I posted their URL. I've had good luck with these guys. Get a K&N replacement filter too. Made some improvement.<ul><li><a href="http://www.gicp.com/">http://www.gicp.com/</a</li></ul>

You should insist that the dealer fixes your bumper.

Default They are installed at port, not at your dealer.

That is why most of us get the front plate bracket.

Default No, they are installed by the dealer. (more)

When I went to pick up my A4 in 1996, I was lead into the shop to see it up on the rack and watched the tech drill the second hole for the front license plate before I could do anything about it.

Default got my dealer to replace front bumper cover

I had no plate at delivery. Then, at 5k mechanic found front plate
holder in the trunk, he said he mounted it for me!!! I was furious!

Mechanics! Don't do what it feels like! ASK FIRST!
How hard can that be ???

Anyway, they got me a new bumper cover, and did the swap in 2 days.
I guess I am 90% satisfied with the work.

Default My dealer replace the front bumper

I purchased a car through a local dealer, unfortunately they did not have the specific model I requested. So they did the dealer search and located a car in Chicago, IL. Two days later I get a call from a dealer regarding the arrival of my new A4. I had a smile on my face as I drove nto the parking lot looking at my baby from the rear and as I approached toward the front, there it was the ugly plate holder. I took it off right there to see if I could just cap it off but there were Four huge holes cut out for the plate. Long story short the Manager decided to replace the bumper and received a major apology from him. There is actually a dealership with customer service after all!!!
