Does anyone have a front license plate bracket for 11-14 CL550?

I bought a very nice rare low mile full Designo Cl550 and someone removed the bracket and I can’t stand seeing the holes. I don’t want to remove the front bumper to fill the holes, I’d rather just put on a plate and be done. Does anyone want to sell there’s that is just sitting in their trunk cubby? It’s only for the 11-14 550.

You can still buy one from MB. Mine was like $50.

Sorry, I don't have it easily accessible. Just call the parts counter at your local MB dealer and give them your VIN....they can easily source it for you.

The 07-10 are that inexpensive because they weren’t desirable

For the 11-14 they want 200.00 plus and they will discount them to 150.00 to 108.00 depending on the web seller. I’m not paying that for a front plastic bracket,just because the facelift cars are more desirable. It’s price gouging. They used to be 72.00, still more than the 07-10, especially since the 07-10 was only 42.00, now they are 50.00, which is a good price but no one wants them.

Lol, yah, welcome to MB pricing, which seems arbitrarily crazy part-to-part. My personal favorite is the left interior side panel (like that has the wood trim and leather around the rear window switch was like $13,000. The guys at the MB shop got such a kick out of it that they apparently gathered around the computer to see the crazy show. I looked up the battery cost on our new EQS 580 the other day...I think that takes the cake at $77,700. I'm sort of (foolishly) rebuilding my car to make it as new as possible, and have bought many silly time parts from MB that I can't get elsewhere, like a small seal for $200, or a seat cushion for $1000.
