Congrats on the SLS! I believe there are license plate brackets/holders/mount so you could avoid drilling holes.

Otherwise you could try amazon such as:
Edit: On a side note, not a lot of people like the idea of side mounted front license plate but even Mercedes themselves are doing it so.... 2022 CLS 450
Edit2: You could also consider just placing the plate inside your vehicle, although it is risky, you might still get pulled over.
Some people would go with zip ties, no, don't do that please.
Here is another option, if you are located in Canada: https://www.rho-plate.ca/collections/all/mercedes-benz

It is located on the top left of your grille but I recommend reading the instructions on page 243 so you don't damage it.
Edit: I found another mounting option although it isn't fully legal in some parts of the world so make sure to check before proceeding: youtube.com/watch?v=hGeXqr-lQfg

Congratulations on your SLS Roadster purchase! I live in Maryland where a front plate is not required if there is no bracket. I purchased a 2012 SLS Roadster in 2018 & have been very pleased. Please consider joining the Gull Wing Group! This organization has supported the 300SL GW & RO since 1961, and the SLS GW & RO since 2020. Our yearly convention will be held at the Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia in 9/22. At least 5-6 SLS owners will attend from the Washington-Baltimore area. We will most likely caravan down together. We would love to meet you. Join us for the drive or meet us there. Google the GWG for more information.

License plate wrap in California
If you are in California, this is an option, but I don't know if there's sufficient space on your front bumper to legally comply:
