Front License Plate issues

My r500 has two silver "buttons" on the front bumper...the spacing of them makes me think that they were for a european plate....I have yet to put a front plate on because I don't know where to mount it....here's my question....is there a license plate converter that would allow me to mount my Illinois plate using these two silver "buttons"?

i try to avoid front plates as i think it's not attactive.
rather than giving out fix it tix, recently the parking meter guys are happy to collect $25 for the city. unless this gets dramatically worse, i'll keep taking chances - so far, about 5 tix for lacking front plates in the past 20 yrs.

Florida does not require a front plate either. I removed the front plate holder the day I got the car.

Part for CL 600

Thanks for the help on the plate, I'm working on avoiding a ticket. I did check with the dealer for the front plate holder and they came back with $250.00.

By the way have you located a good servicing center? or a place for acquiring parts?

Like me, I dont like front plates either. It ruins the looks of the R. 3 months before my warranty expires I was pulled over and was given a warning only. That is in NJ. Went to my SA to have the front plate installed (still on warranty) Thank God!
