When I bought my car the guy never gave me a front license plate or even the holder braket thingy... I looked and there doesn't really seem to be a spot for the front license plate to mount to.... Did the 3rd gens come stock without a front plate? Doesn't seem logical but I don't recall ever seeing a stock 3rd gen with a front plate. Besides the guy I bought my 7 from doesn't seem like the type of person to take it off.

 

Yes it did. This is an old topic, try searching.

 

I think it depends on what state you get your car new from. MN has front license plate laws so the MN ones have them. I bought my car from MI and it did not have a front license plate brackets. Already got a ticket from my local idiot police department.
