GL350

Car number plate

Hi there,
sorry for my bad english. I'm from Germany and have a GL350 X166 AMG package. Can somebody from USA show me how does the plastic holder plate for the car number plate for the AMG Package in the USA look and have maybe a part number for this?! Because i want install a smaller car number plate like in the USA. In Germany this is too long!

thanks
quang

You mean this thing? I believe that screws into the bumper.

So your photo has what I believe is the 'AMG' appearance package, the bumper is different than mine. On mine (the one in my photo), it is screwed into the bumber. It is done by the dealer, since front plates aren't required in all states. On my previous GL I told the dealer I would install it, and I didn't do it.
