Default Where to place license plate on TF/Britpart steel bumper

For those of you with a steel front bumper, where do you put your license plate?All of my online searches for new brackets come up with Wrangler solutions, not Disco.

Links or names are greatly appreciated.

If you have a winch you could use something like this: https://www.quadratec.com/products/1...oaAsbJEALw_wcB

They also make a flip up kind as well.

I saw that one. It looks really cool, but I don't have a winch yet unfortunately.

I use mag lite clips, I screw my license plate to the mag lite clips, and then clip it to the fairlead rollers.

Why not? It's a D2, it's not like you'll be devaluing it.

I may try that route, I've seen magnetic full, rectangular license plate backs/frames on youtube, and in google images, but I can't seem to find them for sale.

When I was doing the mock up for my bumper, I gorilla glued two magnets to the corners of my plate, and if just warped the plate a bit. It would need to be glued/drilled into the plate frame.
