i kept the dealer plates. the ones from mercedes-benz of san diego are really nice IMO> they are solid chrom like above, say San Diego on top Mercedes-Benz on the lower part with a three-pointed star on each side of mercedes-benz.

 

Nice plate...simple but nice...where did you get it from??

 

ive seen them at the parts dept. at the dealer.

 

Yeah, the dealership parts dept. has quite a few really nice chrome frames with different MB lettering. There are some with "KOMPRESSOR" in your car's color too that I have seen (except CITRON, probably a special order though).

I had my Mercedes-Benz of San Diego frames for a while. Like Doug said, really nice chrome finish. They are now hanging on my garage wall, after I swapped them for an European (German) plate up front and AMG chrome frame (from the dealer) in the back. The Euro front plate has since been removed due to my new AMG front bumpers. Here's a pic of the rear frame:

dude, i love your car!

so much better with the AMg/PTS rear.

 

wait til it gets the AMG Coupe exhaust and rear plate bezel....
then it will really be the #H!t

 

dude im debating whether i should get the AMG bumpers, i didnt think it looked that good on citron. not like it does on brilliant silver. i have time though. im going to do CLK seats before the bumpers though.

 

yep. i got mine at the dealer's part dept. you can view some of the styles online but they got more styles at the dealer.

Saprissa, your car's rear end is so cool looking . wow !

 

I got the same frame as Mick1. I purchased it online at PerformanceProducts.com (LA area?)

 

Citron,

I think it would look as nice with your color as well, at least that my opinion.

For the plates, I just ordered one from Brabus and should get it next week. I will also be installing my new Brabus v 18" in about a week. I decided to get Nitto tires.

The plate listed above you can get at any Mercedes dealer. Here is where i usually order all my Mercedes parts through www.parkplacetexas.com

Take care.

 

Here is the actually page. Hope this helps.

got the AMG one from mbcollection.

 

i have the same one mick

 

Is there any place to get some cool license plate brakets/covers?

I just got my plates yesterday, and don't want it bouncing around with two screws attaching it, so I used the free-be dealer brakets they give you. I want to use them, but I don't believe in free advertizement for dealerships... And I don't want to get some wanabe AMG crap from eBay...

Anyone have any suggestions for me...

PS: car is a Black 05 coupe

TIA,

Tom

 

how about the brackets at the dealer. the ones they sell in the parts dept. there are some pretty nice ones ive seen. depends on what your looking for.

 

I just use a smoked gray cover over the plate...think I got it at Autozone...

 

can't remember what they look like, know of any links?


Found this one.... (looks a bit poorly constructed though)

 

Griot's....about the same price as the rest but better quality. I choose 4 hole (thinner frame at bottom) with plastic cover in plain chrome. Wanted polished stainless but couldn't find it. I don't get putting the car/model type on the frame. There's already enough badging on cars. Are you going to have a front license plate?

 

the one i have on my car is a dealer plate. but i bought my car at MB San Diego and they have really nice dealer plates so i kept it.

here's mine. not very good but the only one i have.

 

Unfortunately the dealership already drilled holes in the front bumper before I could stop them, and my local body shop wants too much to have the holes filled and painted.... so, figured why not (although I don't want to).

I also agree with your statement about the badging... I realized that it would be overkill shortly after I posted.

 

I know this sounds crazy, but check out walmart and target. I picked up a plain black metal frame which looks nice against the black car. Only cost a couple of bucks.

 

really? That's awesome. I'll swing by tonight and check.

 

Someone also posted once that they found little flat plugs at the local hardware store, painted them body color and was happy with the result.

 

that actually sounds look a great idea. ill have to tell my brother about that. he currently has holes in his front bumper where his bracket used to be.

 

did that with my Jetta... Got these wierd circle thingies, painted em factory color, super-glued em over the holes. As small as a job this is, it requires patience and a steady hand.
