Since I have to keep a front License plate

and since I am not going to make major changes to the car I figured I would look for frames.. I dont want to keep the one the dealership gave me.

what do you think of these frames?

or the chrome one from here: http://www.1licenseplates.com/mercedesframes.html

any suggestions? Car is Iridium silver.

+1 for the Ebay.

For my front, I used a clear plastic cover with no frame to keep the plate from being hammered from rocks during highway driving. Cleaner look for the front IMO.

For the rear, I have a black frame from the dealership. Still looking for the 'right' frame and some good stainless steel bolts that don't rust.

And don't forget caps for the hardware. Hate seeing a nice fame ruined by nasty hardware.

Frameless is the best.

I highly recommend the one I bought from AutoSport:




I bought because of the clean look (no exposed hardware and the plate is sealed behind a piece of Lexan) and it's very well made (solid chrome plated steel). My only gripe, though a very minor one, is that it is a bit on the heavy side which doesn't allow the trunk to pop wide open by itself.

Yeah I like the AMG ones but... I am not sure if it would go well with my car b/c the only thing that stands out on it are the AMG rims..lol
but I love the way your car looks Aow! would love to see the front.
I do like the ones you have because they are unique and this is the first time i've seen that frame. I wouldnt mind if its a bit heavy because my trunk already opens up rapidly and a bit harsh ( is that normal?). One time my aunt was excited to see my car and opened the trunk by the latches and she almost got hit =( maybe the heavy frame will calm it down a little...
