Car number plate

Hi there,
sorry for my bad english. I'm from Germany and have a GL350 X166 AMG package. Can somebody from USA show me how does the plastic holder plate for the car number plate for the AMG Package in the USA look and have maybe a part number for this?! Because i want install a smaller car number plate like in the USA. In Germany this is too long!

thanks
quang

He is referring to the front license plate frame…. I would send a picture but I live in Pa, don't have the front plate and don't have the original holder/frame that came with the vehicle. Otherwise I could send a pic.

You mean this thing? I believe that screws into the bumper.

So your photo has what I believe is the 'AMG' appearance package, the bumper is different than mine. On mine (the one in my photo), it is screwed into the bumber. It is done by the dealer, since front plates aren't required in all states. On my previous GL I told the dealer I would install it, and I didn't do it.

hi quang. i found my front plate holder which i never installed. the part number is A166 885 1381. this is for the AMG style front bumper on the X166 GL. unfortunately i don't know if it came with any hardware or instructions - the dealer just left it in the trunk for me when i took delivery. i prefer to leave my front plate off for a cleaner look .

here are some pics
