Front plate holder / bracket
Lost it along with the plate during recent Ida flooding. I have a 2016 E350 4matic wagon with the 772 AMG appearance package. Looking for a replacement but cant bring myself to pay $130 at the local dealer. Any thoughts, ideas, "for sale" are welcome.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I have a plate holder from my 2018 GLE43 that I don't need. I don't know if it will fit(I just looked at it, and it mounts to the 4 EU plate holder bolt on locations), but if you want to look it up, or I can send a pic and if it will work it's yours for the shipping....

If I ever need a front mount for my TX car, I will get one of these...

4 nylon bushings of various depths to bring the bumper elevations to a single vertical plane, then mount the plate. Costs about $1.50 and you don't have to look at any excess plastic.

heh, I live in a front plate required state, but my car came from out of state, and the front plate holder is in the trunk, never mounted, and I've not yet brought myself to drilling the bumper. 9 months now, and we've not been hassled. I figure if we get stopped, I'll pull the front plate out of the trunk, act stupid, and say I couldn't figure out how to attach this to the bumper.

pretty sure that will NOT fit, as the ones for a 212 require drilling holes into the bumper for self tapping screws, there is no euro plate holder.

Thanks. I thought about that. But I would rather have the crackle of the holder serving as a "too close" warning to a$$#0les rather than the bumper cover, or even worse, the distronic covering emblem.
