2012 SLK 350 license tag placement front
Hello, all. I just purchased a 2012 SLK 350 and now must attach a front license plate, per VA state DMV requirements. I have the MB correct curved tag holder (it's ugly), but I must apparently drill holes in the front bumper to accommodate the tag holder, and tag.

What's behind the front bumper facia? How far may I drill without hitting something that may be damaged? WHERE do you folks position your front license plate? Pics would be helpful. I hate to do this but have no choice, sadly.

IDEAS??

So, I have a 30 day temporary tag that's good 'til Nov 30, so no front tag for now.

Anyone at all who's dealt with putting a front tag on a R172, please chime in.

Thanks, all.

So, I did it. Drilled two small holes in the valence.

Not so bad, really.
