Determining proper parts on MBparts.com
I'm trying to track down a front license plate holder for our 2011 e350 Wagon with the AMG sport styling package, code 772.
Does anybody know how to make one of the online parts houses pick the part my car car with?
Even if I use our VIN when I do a search I get 4-5 options, and the descriptions don't list which is for normal or sport bumper.
I also have the MB parts software but have never figured out how to look up part numbers, if that would be easier.
I'm hoping to find a good used one, and not pay MB $150 for a new one.
Thanks!

If you dont have the holes already in the bumper for the bracket, Id recommend Slybrackets. Ive used these for about 8 years, no problem.
For vin, usually when options are listed, it will also show what option code the cars should or should not have on their data sheet.

The model I linked also allows the tag to be placed in the center of the vehicle instead of off to the side and perhaps at an angle, depending on where the tow hook is located.

I did have it....I was looking for it. She threw it away last week after I said, "jeesh, this is trash - this will never, not ever go onto either of the cars."

I sold a new PS pump for a Subaru Outback I had kicking around. 3 months later we bought one for my kid. And of course the PS pump was shot. Oh well!

Thanks for the offer! I found what I think is the right version used on eBay and pulled the trigger. It wasn’t too expensive and I just want to get this finished.
