No holes drilled front license plate bracket for sl550

I have a 2016 SL550 and need to display my front license plate. Do you have a bracket that does not require me to drill into the bumper?
Regards,

In the UK, it is a standard fixture as we have to display a front plate.

Same here in many states. That doesn't mean people actually care

I use the Platypus license plate holder available on Amazon. Does not interfere with parking sonar on the SL. It works with multiple car makes and is a quality product made in I think Washington State.

I had a thread some years ago where I used a license plate holder from Amazon that worked well. Had a flush fit and no drilling... Here are some pics
