Default Jaguar License Plate?

Hey guys I was looking on eBay and I found this Jag license plate:
Jaguar Chrome Logo Mini Black License Plate + Frame | eBay

I like the look of it but I have two questions:
1. Does anyone know if the holes for the license plate in my front bumper will line up with the holes in this plate? I have three holes in the bumper holding my plate from the top.
2. Why does the leaper look like an amateur made it? It looks more linear and angular.

Any help is much appreciated!

1) Doubtful, it states "mini plate 12" x 4", maybe contact seller.

2) Copyright infringement...ie...royalty fees

MASS has no front plate so I have this instead

JAGUAR LICENSE PLATE

It is a standard sized license plate for US cars.

By the size it looks like a Euro plate. Can't say that I think the leaper doesn't look original. Might just look out of proportion when compared to ones that are on US sized plates you might have seen. Not sure about the fit, but I'm sure if you wanted to have that look you could figure out a way to mount it.

Some foreign plates stick on, I have seen them on a show made in the UK called wheeler dealer and when they replace plates some have, I guess double back tape on them. You might want to look for those or buy these and use some double back and put on on the bumpers first so you can cover the holes in the bumper. If there are holes in the plates cut off the heads of some correctly sized screws and glue them on the plate hole, you can use auto putty, which is sloppy, or Good crazy glue, I have use this on trim on other cars and it never failed on me.

MASS has required front and rear license plates since the 90's the only exception to that rule is that if you had a car with only a single plate before the changed the law, they you have Godfather rights to the single plate. These plate you have has got to be 20 plus years old. If you recently got new plates you best put on both of you will get tagged.

The law in Nevada says that if there is NO factory mounting provided for a front plate, you do not have to display one. My Alfa Spyder has no front plate...I like the look !!!

You must have the red plates? Mine are green, a friend once took off his front plate as there was no mounting for it and the dealer said they didn't have a option for a front plate. Sure enough he got stopped and got a ticket for only one plate. He went to a auto store and bought a generic plate mount, which after the plate was mounted looked fine. Oops got that backwards yours must be green as mine are red. and my friend had red plates and took one off. I think this is how they tell the difference. I think this is how they tell the difference from the single plate days to the double plate days. I could be wrong however.
