white and whiter
I think that's why they're saying it's not fitting because it doesn't reach the ends all the way. But the problem is the gap between the CF and the end of the bumper (on the side) is like an inch, so its pretty noticeable.
Either way I'm going back to the dealership in the morning to help them align it and see my perspective and whether or not they should still do it. I'll post pics later tomorrow guys let you know what happened.

Ok I brought it to a different place (who was willing to apply alot of pressure in squeezing it on the car) but all in all it fits and looks good

i think CF looks much better on black car than white.
do you have aftermarket wheels? are you just using those wheels w/ snow tires now?
I hate when the state requires us to put front plate on the car....

Thanks for all the tips you guys provided with me for the installation. Those are my stock wheels with the Michelin's All Seasons. (Love the handling in the snow) but I'm really close to buying the C63 replica's 
. Yea it's a pain in the *** (the front license plate), maybe one day I'll try a euro one in the front to see if it looks better and if I get a ticket

I never understood the differences in the different brands before you posted these pics.

Never understood why people do it. people used to keep it on underneath the US plate because it was a car bought in europe and imported to the states. i don' tknow why people put "fake" euro plate on now. it doesn't make the car nicer looking....... i am sure we all know the car is much nicer without any plate in the front. so, don't do it.

i think you should just take it off and put nothing on. looks much more aggressive. how often do you get pulled over for not having front plate? :P

but i hate that you have to drill holes on the bumper to put the plate on.
I think I may just put the front plate infront of the bottom black grill and tie it with wires. I recently got a ticket for not having front plate... long story.

couldn't agree more... side markers and front plates... not to mention that our side markers are so damn huge. did they really have to make it take up 4 square inches of real estate per side?
anyways, i love all of your front lips... whenever i look at the front of my car now, i imagine the lip on my car. and it seems like something's missing from my car. and then i realize i can't afford a lip right now. and then i get sad.

dj_xabi - according to Nola - your pics are not good enough to prove that the car is yours. and this is quoted from Nola directly from this thread ** https://mbworld.org/forums/off-topic...ml#post3323832 ** " You need something unmistakable... like you with your cell in the trunk of the car or a you in the back seat with a loaf of bread on your head, or something crazy that no one but the rightful owner would be allowed to do. Just get creative. That would be undeniable proof."
