Default 2021 Front Licenses Plate Holder

Anyone know what license plate holder fits a 2021 A6. It does have holes for European plates. I need a US license plate holder.

Those two brass holes are where you screw in your plate. I removed mine because I don’t plan on putting a front plate.

The bottom holes go where the dimples are (next to the brass inserts) and the top two go right into the grille. There is no bracket.

I bought this
Amazon Amazon

I mounted it to the 2 screw holes through the middle of the bracket and the plate fits inside that. I forgot what screws I used but they are pretty standard.

What did you end-up doing?

I'm facing a similar issue with A5.

Pretty sure:
- those threaded inserts are for the license plate holder (2 threaded screws near the bottom of the holder). They end-up being hidden by plate on very front.
- they intended to make 3 or more different sized holders (USA, Japan, European [wide], etc.)
- the license-plate attaches to the holder (only)

Default 2021 A4 front license mounting

My new A4 has license plate mounting nuts similar to the OP’s. Is it possible to remove these and the small surrounding plastic leaving just the grille bars, or are the mounting nuts part of the overall molded plastic grille? If not removable, is there a trim piece for an A4 that covers the nuts?

Can't say 100% on the A4 but on the A6 they are removable, and just pop out with some pressure.

According to my dealers Audi Parts manager, Audi didn't make/design US front plate holders for this gen A6. The screw holes align to the Euro plates, which means US plate holes don't match up and fall 1/4'' beyond the Euro holes. I just went to AutoZone and got both these, and a pack of assorted automotive screws, then tried both out and picked the one I liked that I thought looked better on the car.
