I don't know what you're talking about Professor Tommy , but I was talking about the handle that is part of the trunk. I'm also referring to the Sedan; I'm not sure what the Coupe has to close it's hatch (is it the same?). Did you purchase something extra??

 

Closing the hatch is pretty easy though, you just use the inside handle until it hits the mid-point, which is about 1 foot off completely closed. Gravity provides enough to finish the job, very straightforward.

As for my frame, I use a 1/2" wide chrome bordered one that is designed to go behind the plate, so you don't see where it attaches. So it's similar to using no frame, but with an extra chrome border around the outside, cleaner and less cheap-looking than just plate only.

 

Yes - there's a little chrome lip that you can feed through the bottom bolts for the license plate holder. Really cool setup.
Don't really like preyx's gravity-enhanced option.

 

I used to have a plastic cover in my plate in the back but recently replaced it with a chrome frame that I got from Pepboys. They seem to have a lot of choices from simple to low-rider / custom.

i bought one of these, i love it.

 

I don't remember exactly, but I would say it was under $10.

 

anybody know where i can get this plate...ive searched and searched through ebay but i cant been able to find it:
need your help guys

its black lettering by the way (if you cant see it) on a chrome plate and it says "MERCEDES"

 

check your local parts dept.

 

my mercedes dealership? it looks aftermarket to me

 

i dunno, first it kinda hard to see. it just has mercedes etched in the chrome frome right. honestly i bet you can find it at a local sway meet. if your in so cal, the orange county swap meet has tons of license plate frames like that.

 

This link to an item on Ebay may help: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=50451

 

Here is another link I found that may help: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=42611

 

This license plate frame looks interesting: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=50452

 

Kind of hard to tell, but I'd suggest you call 818-704-4444 and ask how much? (For the plate frame that is)

Mercedes dealers do sell their own official chrome/gold license plate frames, with "Mercedes Benz" either printed or in cursive. They add a very good accent to the car, especially those painted in dark colors. I'm thinking of getting them for my mom's car, which is still running the stock dealer frames.

 

I've seen it in quite a few parts departments of LA dealers... Downtown LA Motors, Southbay Motors, and Beverly Hills Ltd., I think all have it.

 

They have it at my local Mercedes dealership.

 

Anybody know where I can find just a plain thin chrome frame? No lettering, just chrome frame? I've been looking around ebay and my local area and can't find any but I've seen them on cars.

 

check walmart, saw one there

 

thanks, i'll check it out. hehe, putting a walmart special on a new benz...

 

The funny thing is, seeing a new benz in the walmart parking LOT. lol

 

haha, that too. but it's a C230 so it's ok, i'm sure there'll be more $$$ cars like an Escalade driven by some little lady trying to run me over.

 

haha, there u go

 

did you guys keep the ones the dealer put on or did you get new ones ?

i decided to get new ones
