 I had an incidence with a speed-bump and the front of the car touched ground. The number plate and its holder fell off. No damage, but som cracks in the holder, so I should change it. Can I make the system more robust ? Is there a "cool" number plate holder I should use ("C6 Owners Club" or something).

 We have a local factory that makes holders with your text. So now i have the historical letters "DS CX XM C6" on the registartion plate holder

 Personally, I prefer not using license plate holders... I see them as this ugly plasticky thing that just diminishes the classiness of the car's design

My car came with chrome license plate holders and while I was driving with temporary license plates, I kept them, but as soon as I got the permanent license plates, after registration, I just fixed them on the car using fix-tape (double sided adhesive tape)... IMNSHO it looks super, and I highly recommend it!

Having said that, if you guys (and @Dave especially) ever decide to have some official c6owners.org license plate holders, I will definitely change my mind and get a set

Thanks,
Sam

 Stainless steel looks great on black IMHO.
Didn't like the chromed plasic ones.

 They do look waaay better then mine did - firstly because they're stainless & not plastic - secondly because the rim - the stainless steel edge that's surrounding the license plate, is narrower & more elegant than on mine...

Cheerios,

 Yes, chrome is good on the back. at the front the best would be to mount it a bit higher and without a frame/plate. Then we could avoid accidents like mine, where the number plate holder is the lowest point and might touch ground on speed bumps.

 Or, just do like I did and not get license plate holders at all Then, the front plate is as tall as the space where you're supposed to fix it

Cheerios,

 Just screwed both number plates back on they were stuck on with double sided stick tape which in the Torremolinos hot sun decided to let go I found the rear one on the floor so drilled and screwed it back on, the front one came off in France so I screwed that on as well.
