How to Mount License Plates on an Alfa Romeo
If you live in one of the states that require a front license plate, it can be frustrating to find a place to mount it on your Alfa Romeo. Known for their signature, prominent front grilles, Alfa Romeos have been historically hard to mount a front license plate on. In Italy, the long rectangular European plate is usually attached on the lower right front (looking at the car head-on) below the lower bumper. However, plates in the states are more square in shape and it's difficult to find a place to mount the front license plate.

When drilling be sure to have the proper size and type of drill bit for the material you are drilling through. If you take in the screws you will use for mounting, the local hardware store can assist you with this.
