I used 2 parts from an Audi mount kit that work much better than the Porsche ones.

In the mean time you have a document which will protect you until you get around to replacing the plate.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I assume it was stolen, along with the mounting kit, but it may have just fallen off somewhere. (Has anybody experienced front license plate fall-off??)
Pain in the butt anyway, since I had to make a police report (assuming stolen), go the DMV for another set of plates (only $17, what a bargain!) and then buy another complete mounting kit.
Why does California have this ridiculous front plate BS anyway????
In NY, you need the front plates too. The US front plate mount is not designed that good. I used 2 parts from an Audi mount kit that work much better than the Porsche ones. I am talking about some simple plastic pieces that cost about $0.50
I think that an Audi/VW dealer would have them. Contact Sunset Imports, and they will know. They are sqaure white pieces that need alot of force to insert them. Then, you get thread holes that you can screw in the angled black pieces. Sorry to be vague, but I did this a while ago, so I am going on memory.
report it stolen ASAP. Then you can wait for a new plate. In the mean time you have a document which will protect you until you get around to replacing the plate. My daughter had no front plate for 11 months.
Photo intersections are one reason
It happened to me....My front plates fell off not long after I put it on (right after I bought the car). It was my fault, I guess it wasn't tight enough.
I forgot what I had to do. I live in New Jersey and DMV wouldn't replace it. I had to pay a small fee and they gave me new plates and a new registration along with a letter that this was a replacement for my missing plate.
I believe my car fax may show an extra owner, but it's just me registering my car a second time to get the new plates.
