European front plate mount bracket
Does anyone know where you can buy that front plastic euro plate mount? My car came with the American front plate holder and I don't want to have a front plate. I rather have the euro bracket than the big American one

If the OP currently has a plate holder then it can be removed and the screw holes covered with bumper plugs.
A an alternative, he can order a euro frame from a multitude of internet vendors by Google'ing 'european license plate frames'
I think that a Euro plate in the front looks goofy, but if the OP likes it then he should do it assuming he does not run afoul of any obscure state law. Some state laws require the 'decorative' front plates to conform to some sort of norm even if the state does not require a state issued front plate. In any case, the Euro plate will make his car stand out and get more attention - both good and bad.

That is unlikely. License plate frames are dealer sourced in Europe and there isn't a standard bracket (unless it has changed in the last few years)

The places that sell the plates online also sell the brackets. As an alternative, you could email a German MB dealer and buy one from them. It will have the logo of the dealership though. All will require that you drill more holes - holes that won't be covered by the US plate if you sell your car.
