What is and where can I buy the best bracket, that fits the curvature of the bumper? How much should I expect to pay and what is the perfect way to mount it? Thanks in advance.

 

Nooooooooooo!!! Don't do it!!!!!!

 

I have a Brand New factory plate holder P/N 2108850781 (black) for W210 for sale, don't know if it fit W211

 

I havent fully commited yet! Future reference only.......

 

Zip ties work great to correct a fix it ticket..NO Drilling required

 

Well I haven't got a fix it ticket, though the zip ties are a great idea. Does anyone have recommendations of a good plate bracket to purchase, if I decide to go that route? What fits best on the bumper?

 

i would leave it off until a ticket , then use the zip tie method to have it inspected and signed off, then off again....

 

if u haven't gotten any tickets than don't put on front plate. i never put any front plate on any of my cars and i never will. it ruins the beautiful lines of the car.

 

I agree, but I feel that I will get caught one day. Going 6 months and so far no ticket......

 

I've been going 25 years... in many different states... driving countless cars and so far no ticket! Even had one cop give me a ticket for illegal headlights (which were factory and he lost in court). When he wrote me the ticket, he walked to the front of my car to write down my license plate number. Failing to find a front plate, he walked around back and took it down off my rear plate. He never even mentioned the fact that I didn't have a front plate and boy was I sweating bullets. So, in the end, I got a ticket for something that was completely legal (which was dismissed) but he totally misses the legitimate ticket.

Anyway, I figure I'm living on borrowed time after a quarter century of no front plates but even if I have to pay a ticket for that tomorrow, amortized over 25 years I think it's an astonishing "mod" bargain!

 

Hee hee, lucky man Where I live I keep hearing stories left and right about how people get pulled over with no front plates. (Knock on wood) I don't plan to put the front plates up but well see how far I'll go

 

Good for you..... is that your car in the sig? Looks like a bracket on front - do you just leave a generic plate w car logo or something on front?

 

man i live in the south bay area and i have a German style front plate with no rear plate a nothing so far

 

That is not my car in the picture but it looks just like it. Truth be told, this is my first used car (couldn't resist the depreciation factor), and the car I bought had the bumper drilled (the inhumanity) and front bracket in place. So I bought a carbon fiber "AMG" plate off of eBay and that's what is currently on the front of my car. I haven't decided if this will draw more law enforcement ire than having no plate at all but so far so good.

As a side note, I actually like having the AMG plate on the front of the car. It's amazing how fast people get out of your way when they see that plate coming at 120 MPH.

 

I have been pulled twice for no front plate and got two tickets, so I broke down and purchased the standard MB mount which I had painted. I then glued some very strong magnets to the back of it and covered those with felt.
Next, I removed the front bumper and glued some more more magnets on the inside of it so they can hold the mount in place. It works great and can easily removed when I cross the state line.

 

interesting idea

 

sounds like a lot of work
