Okay, back from the dealer,and good news!!....All the cars parked on their lot had front tags...the dealer's for advertisment, so I asked one of the sales guys and he took me to the back where new cars had just been unloaded. None of them had front holes on the bumpers for the plates. He then showed me a very faint and very very small impression in the blastic bumper molding on these new cars...S80's, V70's, 50's...all of them. There are two of these impressions, right in the center of each bumper. The service department takes a small drill and goes into these indentations and "whalla" there are threads in there once the plastic covering is drilled away. You can use a small screw too if you want. Look for these very small pin tip indentations on your bumper. They should be there if this is an OEM bumper. Hope this helps.
