Facelift European License Plate Holder

I have a really crappy chrome license plate holder for my euro plate which looks really cheap and terrible the more I think about it. This is not a debate on a euro vs. non euro plate thread, I just need to know: where can I get a contoured plate holder and frame for my facelift 2007 W211. I am sure they are out there since the European market had to have had these for the W211. Thanks.

Yeah plus I bet it's very expensive with customs and all =\ do the cars come with stock black holders or no? What are the Norwegian laws regarding front license plates?

Well there isnt any specific law,licence plates here in Norway are made after EU-standard measures,but i've seen some US imported cars with US-shaped licence plates,also law says that you must have licence plate both in front and in the back,if im right in US you dont have to have the licence plate in front.

Almost every state requires Front & Rear plates... only a very few states have a rear plate only policy.

I think it was something like 31 states require both front & rear plates while 19 only require rear plates.

@SmashF15C Thank you so much, just have to make sure it's for a facelift W211 with the pointier front. Expect a DM from me in the next few days and I can PayPal you money to cover the cost and shipping. You're awesome.

Here in Colorado they were trying to pass a law through congress that would get rid of the front license plate law. As I understand it, the week that they were debating the bill there was a hit and run accident where a man was killed jogging. The front plate left an impression on a snow bank leading to an arrest - thus the bill didn't pass by a long shot. One moron and tragic case ruins it for the rest of us. Personally, regardless of the law I'd rather run NO front plate but they already drilled into it... so now I'm just hiding damage.
