I have this one, which allows the plate w/ bracket to be removed in its entirety: it just slides onto the tongue of the bracket mounted to the bottom of the undertray with the existing bolts. They made a custom mounting bracket for the Virage and could presumably do the same for the Vantage, if they don't already have a template. And made in Canada!

Someone local to me has one on his DB9. Looks like it works in his videos.

Thanks all, I like the one that Ryan install in the bottom grill but don't love the idea of cutting that grill.

Luckily there are forum members like you that sent me your OEM lower grills (for the rear when I needed them)

I mean...$400 pays for a lot of fix-it tickets. Are you really getting hassled for no front plate that much?

Depends on where you live.
Urban area like Toronto it's common to get tickets for that.
Rural areas no.
In the states there are so many that allow no front plate I think it is often ignored compared to other countries in my experience.
My reason was that in Niagara I am near the US border and it's required at the bridge coming back into Canada.
I was stopped and hassled when the remote didn't work on a return trip.
Rest of the time it's tucked away out of sight.
This past year border has been closed anyways...
