Front license plate block mount
The front of the New Beetle looks much better without an ugly plastic license mount.
Unfortunately, 31 states mandate a front plate and there is just no good place for it on the curvy bumper.
Most dealers affix a rectangular block to hold the plate by drilling into the plastic front bumper, thus ruining the finish.
If you acquire a New Beetle from the following states, there is a 99% chance that it will have some kind of add-on block mount and a damaged front bumper with several unsightly holes in it.
