Four punch marks are located in the bumper cover number plate area, which must be drilled through to install a number plate (dimensions 115 x 520 mm).

If the punch marks are not visible, proceed as follows:
- Determine the vertical vehicle center line from the Audi logo to the center of the grille within the bumper.
- Determine the horizontal center line:
- Dimension a = dimension -a
-
- Determine the symmetrical number plate mounting locations as follows:
- Dimension -x- = 139 mm
- Dimension -y- = 62 mm
