I'd planned to remove all bumper brackets anyway - I just think the de-bumpered look is better (though I don't want to re-ignite any of the "naked or dressed?" debates, and get the Moderators reaching for the censor's red pencil!)
+1 for the no bumper look
I'll also take Simon's box of matches and raise the stakes with half a cup of petrol...
I think the standard plastic box presents the front plate too high up. Why not drop some brackets down from the front grill lower mounting bolts. Make them up as a slight 'S' bend in side profile and the plate sits really neatly below the front grille on a no-bumper car.
