Front License Plate
My wife was pulled over yesterday for not having the front plate on her E55. Any advice on how to attach it without drilling holes in the bumper. In Cali this is a fix it ticket so I am searching for a good temporary solution. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

i have a stash of plastic zip ties in my glove box, i fix mine on the spot when i get pulled over for it and the ticket is thrown out (usualy) then when i get home, take out my scissors and snip the ties and plate goes back in the trunk.
btw i mount the plate with the ties to the mesh grill in the lower part of the bumper, i have the 2005 c class w/ AMG bumper

I was pulled over and given a ticket for the same thing with my last car.....I think it's the most ridiculous reason to be fined!!!!!!!!
And I still don't have the front license plate on my Benz, and I doubt I ever will. Those stupid license plates completely ruin a cars lines IMO.....
As for a good temp solution........I agree, the plastic ties will work well with the AMG mesh grill. Drilling holes in a Benz should be outlawed.....

for temp display, u can make some hooks out of paper clip and hang the plate on the mesh airdam in the front opening, i did that on my M3, can not drive with it, but can display it when parked.
speaking of getting no front plate tix, i can not even count how many i have received. here in NYC going out of midtown tunnel is a guaranteed tix cuz they got cops standby there 24x7, i think some of them know me now.
if u want the car looks good, then u need to be ready to pay to play.

This is probably the best product for our cars. I don't know what size holes we have but maybe someone could fabricate it for us?

what I us is magnets. I place a heavy duty one the inside of the bumper and one on the liceances plate with a felt cover over the magnet and when ever i have to go for the fix it, i put it no and I'm cool. Not for driving just for show... Haven't done to the CLS but it worked on my G35...

So my wife got a front plate fix-it. I never even bothered looking at the front plate bracket until now. So do you just use tapping screws to attach the plate to the black plastic holder?
