License Plate relocation for the SL55?

I've been looking a bit for a plate relocation kit and I'm seeing that some of them say that they interfere with parking sensors. I've found a couple that don't say they interfere, but then reviewers complain they do. Can anyone tell me if there's a known good plate relocation kit?

Pretty much any of them will work if the screw into the tow is the correct size. I bought one that is like one size to small but it made it work with plumbers tapes and loctite. You can always just drill holes where you need it to line up so it doesn't interfere with the parking sensors.

Yea, no one pulling you over..trust me

Putting a front plate is a sure way to destroy the car

If you don't want to drill holes, just use very strong double sided tape. I've used 3m exterior mounting tape and it's been solid for almost 5 years.

I've seen a remote front plate holder that tucks under the front of the car. Motorized, it mounts to the underside and can be left out or retracted and hidden. I know that there is not much room under the front end - but just a suggestion.
