Default Front license plate

At the moment, I'm waiting for my plates for the xB. Is there anyway to install the front plate without putting holes into the front bumper?

When the dealer installed my front plates, it came with a plastic plate adapter that hooks onto the front bumper (behind the plate) and then puts the two screws into the bumper. Maybe that is just because this state has a front license plate law and all dealers must provide a front mount. Anyway, I must assume this is a factory part.

The dealer drilled into my bumper. I was about to tell him not to and that I'd find another location but it was too late.
