Mount front plates without drilling

Looking for a way to mount my front plates without having the dealer destroy my front bumper. I saw the cravenspeed tow hook mount n was wondering if anyone has experience with it or other ideas.

Seems like the tow hook is really close to the headlight, front collision sensor(?) and the grill. Anyone have something like this on their w223 or any other ideas?

I do not know if the plate mounted via the tow hook will interfere with the headlight, Parktronic, 360 Camera or other sensors. But, I mean no offense and it aesthetically not pleasing to me, when the offset is so much from the tow hook position. Hopefully, some other members might come up with a better solution.

Looks like the European model has stock pre-drilled license plate mounting holes.

And, the Asian model also has stock pre-drilled holes.
