(Apologies if this isn't the best place to post this.... )

I just bought a new-to-me E250, which came with only two of the four screws that attach the license plate to the trunk lid. These are M6x1.0 ~10mm long, fillister head, MB PN A009 990 84 04 ("Fillister Head Screw / Number plate to plate M6x6").

It bugs me when the plate flops around, so I went looking to see how much those screws cost from MB. Oh my, these are around $10/ea (https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Genuine.../303013861008?).

Nope. So I bought 50 M6x1.0 6mm long screws, used two of them, and now have about 48 extra. See pictures, the slightly longer screw is the MB screw that came with the car, the slightly shorter screw is what I bought. It works fine (it doesn't need to be that long for the license plates).

For the cost of postage, I'm happy to send sets of four to those of you who would like them... PM and/or post here.
