Front license plate mounting bracket

Hi there!
My 2000 XK8 came without a front license plate. While I'd like to keep it that way, the local authorities have other ideas.
There does not appear to be a license plate mounting bracket on the front of the car at this time. Where can I get one?
Any alternative ideas as to how to satisfy the authorities?
Thanks!
Michael

Hi Michael.. I purchased an absolute perfect license plate mount on eBay that cost
$7.94 and $3.69 for shipping total cost: $11.63. It works perfectly but you have to
drill 2 small holes in the middle of the grill "UP RIGHTS" to attach the holder and I
used the bolts that came with it to mount the license plate onto the purchased bracket.
eBay item# 321477463602 SELLER: Comerseo (angelsnewemail@gmail.com) called
JAGUAR LICENSE PLATE BRACKET. You can check it out later this month on the SJC trip to Chico

Although you have been a member for some time, I see this is your first post.
Jaguar solved the problem by supplying a Number Plate Plinth (item 16) in black moulded plastic for the USA square style licence plates:

(click on the image to enlarge it)
Like all other permanent licence plate mounting options, the bumper has to be drilled.

I have a retractable front license plate bracket (Retractable Hide Away License Plate Frame Bracket Holder Mount Kit | eBay). This is a manual one; they make remote control versions of this that cost about $100 but don't waste your money on them. They break after 3 or 4 months.

I've been driving without a front license plate on several cars for about 20 years in two states. I get a $15 ticket every once in a while, but I think it's worth it. The car looks way better without the front plate, and you don't get caught with speed cams that take a picture from the front!
