Mounting front license plate?
Greetings. When I got my car recently the frame for the front license plate was nit drilled in to the car. Does anyone have a good alternative for mounting the front plate without this frame? Maybe lower down in the front. I have the sports package with the black mesh grille in the front. Thanks.

Ugh .. front plate on a SL. I wish there was some electronic device to "drop it down" when you get pulled over or park somewhere and to pull it back up when you want

Hi. I was thinking of doing the same thing. I just have to put something behind the plate so it doesn't scratch the bottom of the spoiler (oh the horror). Maybe a license frame would clean that up a little also.
