I am in the same dilemma.
I live in a state that has that requirement and I hate to drill into the pretty bumper.
I thought about using double sided tape like the Europeans do.
Of this neat accessory if you have a front tow hook connection:
No Holes License Plate Mount -
This is mount without drilling:
The LAW no drill thru the grill front license plate mount
Or this one which hides under the bumper when not being driven and then pops open when driven:
Motorized front license plate

Yeah, I 100% don't want to drill into the bumper.
I can't tell if we have front tow hooks on our Discovery's - I see two hidden areas under the front head lamps, which might be. Just need to do more research.
My temp plates have expired from the original state, so now I can actually be pulled over and given a citation for not having my front plate - I put the rear on though.

Most UK plates are screwed on at the front and stuck on at the rear.
Early LR3 (Discovery 3) had a plastic plinth to mount the number plate on, I have fitted on of these as I think it looks better, not sure if you can get a version for US plates.

I hope some one will come up with an aftermarket solution.
I am in the U.S., and I had the same problem with a license plate bracket that only held the top part of the plate and the bottom 3/4 of the plate had no support at all.... so I went to a salvage yard and found a bracket that was the full holder type and I was able to use that but I did need to drill holes and bolt it down. The license plates that I have on my car are the really thin (cheap) aluminum type that all the States are going to and just one car wash would tear it up. Can't have that because I collect these, you can see the collection at shoplicenseplates.com
I live in California and when I picked up my 2016 DS they told me to return to the dealership when I get my plates so that they can drill the holes and mount it.
I agree, they look much better than american plates since European plates tend to flow better with European design, being more stretched out lines rather than boxy, in a way it almost blends in.

I used a mount from amazon and 4 inch toggle bolts and bolted into the bottom grille section

I am concerned this may restrict airflow. Have you noticed any decreased gas mileage?
