I thought about it on my car but the location it wrong on the c class. The tow eye is too high and the plate partially covers the headlight. A few owners rigged up brackets to fit the plate under the bumper sitting on the lower grill leaning back on an angle. They might have modified the plate to fit though.

I just put one on my C43. It seems to be working well so far and I only had to drill 2 small holes on the underside of the bumper, so if I ever need to remove, it won't be visible at all.
