It's not like you're going to store the vehicle in a hermetically-sealed container and preserve it for generations; it's a bumper, it's going to encounter battle-scars such as stone etches and paint chips anyways..

May not bother you, but most everyone here is OCD and does not like the idea of holes in their bumper. Good thing is there are a number of options that let you run a front plate without drilling holes. IMO the best one is STO N SHO, because it's centered and how easy it is to snap on/off your front plate, literally in a few seconds without any tools or drama. |
I get the whole OCD thing, however, here in NY, if the plates in not in the dead-center or more than 12 inches from the ground, you can still be issued a summons for a violation.
I much rather bolt them up and just forgot about it.

What does one do with an Alfa Romeo Gulia? I don't think a plate can be mounted in the center. |
To answer your question; Alfa makes a hitch that goes into the tow hook, which they provide to their customers, to attach the front plate - or they screw it on, above the hitch mounting point. |
That's not dead center though. Won't they ticket that?
