How did you do that?. Is the plate connected to the tow hook? I see no holes on the front bumper. A friend of mine with a SLK350 has for some reason 5 holes for the front plate. I feel for you and everyone in Cali for the strict law of front plates. In Connecticut it's required as well but rarely enforced(thankfully).

There is a towing hook over there.

I like the look!! Would you please post details about the hardware you used? What type of bolt/fastener did you use to attach the plate to the tow hook hole? What is the bracket that you have attached to the back of the plate frame?
