Get a EURO to US plate conversion kit from MBWerks.
A small bracket uses the existing holes in the Euro-plate bezel and then the bracket has the right dimensions and holes to screw on the US plate.
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.

Well it seems like with what I have (and the time it is), I'd rather be patient with the euro trunk lid and fitment with the US plate. It's blatantly obvious that the US plate won't fit without some drilling mutilation haha.
BUT to the comment Q left, fitment of the euro trunklid is perfect. I mean REALLY perfect, all the tabs lock in just fine? (I have a 2003 though?).
I think I'm gonna purchase those brackets or take myself to OSH tomorrow. How much is MBwerks selling it to save myself measurement and correct fitment
. I have to say, it looks GREAT though.

I guess their main index page isn't letting anyone "in" at the moment. Checking around the catalog, I don't see any euro plate brackets, might have to fashion myself something (time to whip out the 'ol dremel!
), but I'll give them a call as well. A Combination of double sided tape, nuts and bolts should do the trick just fine too though.flip

Quick question, one of the tabs is missing on the lower left hand side. Was there supposed to be something there and it just isn't anymore or will I be able to use the US tab to fit this on (aside from getting the kit from MBWerks)?
Let me know when you get the chance.
