More likely than not, your Audi came with an awkward-looking front license plate holder from the factory. Lucky for you, Audi also makes a plate filler that replaces the part of the front grille that holds the front license plate with a part that is not made for a plate. This DIY will show you how install this license plate filler and clean up you car’s look in minutes. Remember: it is illegal to drive without a front license plate in many states so check with you local authorities before you do this.
Car Models
- 2005–2009 Audi A4 B7 2.0T
- This can be done on other models too. However, each model requires a different plate filler. Always make sure you buy the right part number and color of the filler.
Parts Required
- Audi A4 Front Plate Filler (Part # 8E0807287D1QP)
Tools Required
- Phillips Screwdriver
Step 1
Remove the five screws that hold the plate holder to the engine grille.
Step 2
Remove the plate holder itself. It should just slide off, but some force may be required.
Step 3
Install the plate filler using the same screws.
Step 4
You are done!
My 2006 S4 avant doe not have the three screws at the top of the front plate holder and no obvious way to remove it. I’d appreciate any advice and parts to accomplish this same front plate delete on my car.
