Difficulty of mounting front license plate?
I usually just get the dealer to mail me the plates when they come in and then just attach them myself.
However, I noticed that my NX200T doesn't have any visible mounting hardware on the front grille. I did find the mounting bracket and screws in a plastic bag with the spare tire, but I can't seem to find any predrilled screw holes in the front grille.
Is mounting the front plate a dealer only thing or is there an easy DIY solution?
Thanks.

I actually took my front plates off when I first got my NX, cause it looks so much better without them. My license plate fram actually has two hooks on the top that hooks onto the grill, and the bottom two have to be screwed into the solid horizontal bar inside the drill. Hope that helps.
I would post a pic, but we're vacationing in OC, CA right now visiting family and Mickey later in the week.

I my grill there are two very tiny dimples in the area where you would drill for the mounting screws, about the head of a pin in size. Not too easy to find. What I did instead of drilling holes was to mount my license plate with two long tie wraps. Works like a champ and if I ever sell the car to someone in another state (e.g. Kansas) they will not have holes in the grill.

No, seriously they are handy in the right place.
One of the cars which looks the license plate ruins. You have generally shorter plates than in Europe so could you install it unsymmetrically? Or is it allowed? Would keep the mean grill look.
