These will work best with black paint and black grill surrounds as seen here, but even for other colors it will help. And if you go further and come up with replacement grills/surrounds that change briefly to body color starting at the top of the license plate area and finishing at the bottom of it, it'll work on any color.
Of course a replacement front bumper with a shorter grill would be an even better solution, but I think that something simple like the above could work as a simple, easy to install fix for those who don't like the OEM look.

Seeing the the European license plate itself does a somewhat decent job of splitting the grill, I could imagine a simple trim piece going in that location (sort of an elongated H shape with some curves) that wouldn't even require a grill replacement, just a couple of bolts mounting it like that plate and you're good to go.
