Front tow hook cover how do you remove/rho-plate

I was wondering how to remove it. Is it just clicked in or what don't want to break anything so I'm asking never had to remove it.

Second I know it been talked about on here before but all the threads are old. Which lic. plate holder is better the rho-plate or the other one can't think of its name. In the threads it looked like it didn't matter which one everyone was happy with them but they were new then. How about now after being on the car for a year?

After two Benzs and six years finally got popped for no front plate

250 views and no replies. Good thing is that that might suggest that not many MBs need to be towed... :-)

I use the Skene Design mount. I liked the tow-hook mounts due to not having to drill into the bumper, but did not like the offset look. With this mount, I could go back to running w/o a plate and not have any visible holes.

BTW, I never had an issue running plateless so far, but apparently Meter Enforcers are able to write tickets for it (and are specifically looking for violators) while your car is parked downtown.
