No drilling required.
I'll have my currently MBWorld posting-challenged husband,
show you his step-by-step picture-filled process later.
I got my Euro-Plate Bezel from Steve (MBenzNL) during his last SoCal trip,
along with rear Parktronic bumper strip & PTS sensors, and COMAND.

greetingz,
greetingz,
Yes, I am here. Mostly to moderate my husband.
Although I must admit, I've gotten bit by the MOD bug myself;
unfortunate for Carlos though, otherwise, he would be driving a CL65 by now.
It's OK though. I'll hopefully be getting a SMART & G500, while he's still working on his Coupe.
btw, I will be putting a little something in to your CB&T account tomorrow.

I am taking a breather for now. Waiting a bit before the final parktronic stuff. Got too much else going on right now.
