Front License Plate Holder

Hi There
I just imported a Porsche Panamera Turbo from US and it came without the drill holes for the front license plate holder bracket. I am from Yangon,Myanmar where we don't have porsche dealership so the shops don't want to take risk drilling the bumper. I just want to drill by myself so can you guys give me any tip how to drill it on the bumper?

What to avoid> and any standard measurement >

thanks a lot.
have a great day

From my personal experience, I know that it's possible to ruin the integrity of the paint even if you don't hit anything vital when drilling. On a previous car I ended up having to get my front bumper repainted because the hole I drilled for the license plate caused the paint to come off in sheets.

If you can't get a professional to do it, consider a no-drill license plate holder. These work by giving you a bracket that screws into the front tow point. On the Panamera these don't interfere with the parking sensors.

don't drill any holes in your bumper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get a license plate holder that screws into the tow hook.

Yes on UsMillworks. Doesn't impact your bumper sensors.
