MB sells a pre-bent license plate frame. It really finishes off the look of the front bumper. Comes in polished-stainless or blk powder-coated. Very nice product.

E550 2011 front license bracket
I'm an SC to CO transplant and now need a front plate. I purchased the front license bracket online (Kansas City dealer) and I am not sure where to mount it. It seems like it will attach to the grill without making any holes in the bumper. Has anyone else done this?

Call your local dealer and advise them of your predicament. Possible that they may drill it out for you to allow mounting of the front plate.

I had the same problem. I bought a stainless steel plate with the Mercedes logo on it and there was no way that I was going to bend that plate. The dealership sells an adapter kit which was only $5. Basically its 4 pieces of rubber that fills in the gap between the plate and the frame. It works perfectly.
