SL500

Looking for either a new or used (preferably) front license plate holder for my 2003 SL500.

Trying to find a less expensive used one.

Unless you'll find one at the dismantle locations, that's the cheapest you'll get

An alternative is one of the holders that mounts in the tow hook hole. I did that I on one that I didn't want to put holes in the bumper. It might not work with Parktronic if you have that and isn't great in car washes, but I still have a virgin bumper.

Do wish they would not require front plate
