It'd be a fine place to mount a bike rack.

The above link has information on front hitches both ready made and custom built.
Here's mine in the picture. I opted to raise it high and behind the grill since mine isn't for bikes or anything other than emergency use at speeds where opening the hood isn't an issue. The Etrailer unit hides behind and accesses from behind your front license plate.
(also a good place to hook to for a quick tow when stuck)
(people have asked about the light bar. It shines through the bottom slot of the grill and makes a block of light like something out of the Tron movie.)

Note that the OP has a Siesta on a Sprinter platform which may or may not be condusive to a front hitch.
Actually, looks like it is but at a price ($400+):
