Question for Australian Owners.
How was your rear licence plate attached to the rear of your W205.
The dealer had put a set of its own branded Mercedes licence plate frames around my plates but when I washed it.. as my previous car did it filled up with water and soap...
So I removed these (its really only just advertising their dealership) and to my horror I noticed that they had drilled four crooked and misaligned screw holes straight through my plate. It looks horrendous and has really given the rear of my car and my $700 plates a shi!tty look.
I just wanted to know how other peoples plates were attached and how they look?
I will post a pick when I get back to my car tomorrow night.. then I will be going back to the dealer to jump up and down.

Same with all MB dealers, with plate frame and cover. I will take a photo later.
Perhaps try a better brand license frame? Like Kingpin? They have a neoprene seal and usually water rarely get in. (You will get condensation after wash though).

The plates on our 204 are pre drilled. The MB frames cover all the holes. Dust does get between the cover & plate over time & needs to be washed off.
Photos attached without cover & with.
NB. To remove the dealer name from the plates I just rubbed it out with a hydrocarbon eg petrol.

My plates were pre-drilled as well... however the dealership has drilled four new holes in the torwards the centre of the plate.. and it looks hideous, pics to come tonight...
Cheers, Matt
