How to mount front license plate

Can anyone suggest a good way to hang my new front plate. Do I just screw it in (ouch!!!) or is there another way?

I used 8" tie wraps to put my 'european style' plate in the front. It came with a mounting bracket which i tie wrapped to the lower plastic grill. I got the plate from www.europlates.com and they sell the bracket seperate so if your plate is the same size it would work nicely.

did any of you get the euro plate with using your regular licence plate number? I wonder if that is more legal? I have the crappy california licence plates O_o. This would only be done on the front

in pennsylvania we don't need front plates so it wasn't an issue. i did think about getting my regular plates. i doubt its legal for you to do it but probably better than having no front plate at all.
