In the UK, we have to mount a front number plate and the factory provide
some steel strips with holes in that go over the bumper over-rider
bolts. A UK number plate is a little longer than the US equivalent, but
I'm sure that will do.

The sports racers in the 50s/60s/70s used to take the front bumper off
for competition, so a black vinyl plate with white letters would be
stuck on to the front wing.

Some illustrations in the Rowan Isaac book, "Morgan"(ISBN 1 85532 465 2,
Osprey Classic Marques), show what I mean, page 83, the Pollington 4/4
series IV has the standard set up and page 116, TOK258, the Le Mans car,
has a stick on vinyl number plate.
