Getting tired of get tickets for not having a front plate; any ideas?
Does anyone know any good front license plate bracket/mount that won't affect the front sensors?

Check out this thread I created last week - https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-c63s-...l-options.html
TL;DR - There are few options, but nothing clean, reliable and works in tracks than mounting them on the bumper If you don't plan to track or stress the car enough, mounting it low in front of the radiator griller slats could work.

I found this one online, claims to not mess with the sensors and hooks into the tow hook hole

If you are forced to put your front plate on your car, just go ahead and mount it with the OEM bracket. Yes, you'll have to drill holes in the bumper, but you can always fill/paint them if you take the bracket off.
Even though it doesn't look as clean as having no front plate, it looks WAY cleaner than any of the brackets that use the tow hole. The asymmetrical and raised-out look of those brackets does nothing but draw direct attention to your front plate, doing the exact opposite of what you're trying to accomplish.

Since I'm doing European Delivery, my car came with the OEM bracket from the factory, currently with the temporary EU license plate. The bracket sits below the grill and ends above the lower bumper, so it's not obstructing anything. The temp license plate is slightly wider and about 3/4 the height of the US plate for reference and the bracket is the same size as the US plate. You can see it in the picture below. I agree with the above poster that any alternative of mounting it to the side and what not is a terrible eye sore. Totally makes the license plate the first thing one notices.

I came across this one - https://tegoautoproducts.com/
Looks like you mount it underneath and can retract for driving and retract when parked or not in use.
I'm in Ontario and already got a ticket with less than one week of driving. Apparently the government is considering removing the front plate requirement so I don't want to drill holes to only have the requirement lifted in a few months (If it happens)
