I didn't think to check the license plate holder. Sorry! It looks like it's pulled out a little bit, however I called the service center and he said its permanently fixed.

Almost want to drive the 60 miles back to pull on it for you guys.

Thanks for posting this, the first dark paint version of the refreshed nose I've seen. I ordered Metallic Silver because I preferred the darker paint with the black nose one, I think it looks even better now. Cheers.

I'm headed to my SC to pick my car up in about 2 hours. Anything specific anyone want me to check? I know they have a few refreshed models there (or they did yesterday anyway).

Have them remove the plate and take a pic!

 

[Caligula]

I doubt they would be too keen on that but I'll see what I can do.

 

[Soundchasr]

Try doing it yourself until the police come?

So the bad news is, they won't remove the plate bracket... Grrr but I was able to take some pics...

Awesome, thanks for posting these! I knew they removed the rear diffuser, but thought a silver strip of trim was on the new design, doesn't look to be the case from your pics.

I didn't think they'd remove the plate holder, but you ask if there are screws going into the nose?

of course I had to take pics of rear diffuser...
its there.. just not so obvious as before.

As far as other bolts/screws, there are 5 additional screws/bolts total facing front of the bumper other than 2 below. I don't know how many are actually goes through the bumper.

Last but NOT LEAST !!!

Front plate bracket.

The bracket is definitely bolted on additional to those bottom 2.
Spoke to my DS and I urge them not to put that crab on mine otherwise I will be canceling my order.

Do you have any pics of the front of the bracket?

Are you certain that it has additional bolts besides the bottom two?

IMO - If there are bolts on the front, why would they bother with bolting it underneath? It would be pointless to have that extra wrap around.

Belt and suspenders?

The email I just received on the refreshed S shows no license plate bracket or mounting plate.
