We have a Q5 Black on Black Premium Plus with Nav w/ MMI, B&O, 19 inch wheels, and front license plate bracket on order. We are looking at June 21st as a delivery date. My dealership has a Black on Black Prestige coming in May without the front license plate bracket. We currently live in a state where a front license plate is not required but plan on moving to a state that does require it in the next 12 months (maybe less). It may make more sense for me to spend a little more and take the Prestige a month earlier than our Premium Plus that is on order. We have a kid due in early June and it may be less of a hassle to just get the car before the baby arrives.

Anyone know what kind of a pain in the rear or what kind of hoops you have to jump through to add a front license plate bracket later on if we went that route?


Thanks.

Its real simple, it just snaps on. Reach your fingers between the grill slats and you will feel the clips all along the top and bottom of the bracket, press them to unclip while slightly pulling outward on the bracket. Once you get them all it will be free of the grill. The only catch is if you have the parking sensors, the wires are not very long and it wont allow you to pull the bracket very far away from the grill but just enough to reach in there and press two clips on each of the two sensors to disconnect them.
Installation is the reverse of the above procedure.

The brackets are on always on ebay or If I was you I would make the dealer supply the bracket as it is a no charge option when you order the car.

The dealer will change it for free.
