Hi RS6 owners,
I have searched but couldn't find anything on installing License Plates on an RS6 without drilling into the bumper, can anyone help? I know it can be done for most Audi models.
Kind Regards,

I searched pretty extensively and finally gave up and started taking an improper display ticket every 2-3 months (whenever cops notice in parking lots, thankfully they can't ticket me in my driveway/garage). Zero demerit points and a $75 fine is worth it to not have extra holes drilled.

3m double sticky tape
Too lazy to search for the post, but iirc someone used very strong magnets placed behind the bumper shell

'79 911SC Targa
Both methods can be used together, thanks guys. Just ordered some magnets!
3m double sticky tested to 160 on a remote hwy in Mexico
Wood screws.....wait, that's what the previous owner did to my car, not too bad really, assuming the plate stays on.
You guys with your tape and magnets, let's see how that holds at 180!

I'm thinking of doing this just in case I want to put a Euro one on the front.
I would not put a magnet behind the bumper, but instead attach the magnets to the plate.
Think of all the potential metal 'fuzz' that might accumulate on the front bumper if you decide to get behind a truck leaking metal scrap, etc.
Anyway, the metal plate would have to be glued or taped to the inside of the bumper cover.
I'm waiting to get my cover back from the painter, so I'll document it if I decide to do it.

Yeah that is worth noting, another way is to have the magnets on both sides, behind the bumper and the other on the outside of the plate. This would secure the plate without having to glue a magnet on the inside of the bumper. Provided of course you get one small enough to not cover the important bits of the plate.
At least that way when you wash the car you take both off and then your not rubbing potentially metal shavings on your paint work if there is any there.
plate looks real nice when mounted in the center of the lower grill valence using an $8 plastic mounting bracket with 4 zip ties securing to the grill. Some folks on here raised a potential concern regarding the blockage of air flow to the intercoolers however when I ran the set up I never had an issue and my car dyno'd 426 WHP which aleviated any lingering concerns.

Thankfully I live in a part of the world where they only issue rear plates.
