Plate Damage?
I just took off my front license plate, and I have ugly white holes where the screws were which really stands out on my Black Opal W208. How would you suggest I go about "fixing" this?

you could be very very careful, and use some sort of black
epoxy, then touch it up with the black touch up paint MB
sells. Just be VERY VERY careful. If you do it right, it should
not be visiable.

you can also buy these little plugs that plug right into the holes... I forget it they come in body colored paint, or just the most basic colors.
In either case, you can always use a little touch up paint to repaint them to match the color of your car.
Check with performance products, they might have these.
