Euro Style Front Plate bracket?

Silly Newbie question, no not flat tire related

Looking for a Euro Style Front Plate bracket for my SL550. Obviously the front has a bit of a V shape so a standard bracket won't work.

My preference would be no plate but a US Bracket is already their and dear wife wants a Euro with 867 5309 - yes her name. If you don't get the joke your not old enough. So what are my options?

Their site seems to be having issues but, google

They’re wide enough to take a euro plate and don’t require drilling your front bumper.
