Post up a pic of your tow hook next to a ruler, and I'll do the same.

Since they are both W211s, it's a high probability that they are interchangeable.

I read it on here somewhere, but it was a somewhat offhanded comment. There has yet to be strong confirmation on it.

Actually, I need a pic of the silver tow hook itself.

If you are looking into the tow hook bracket option be sure to not have parktronic as I believe the plate will obstruct the front passenger sensor.

2004 E55 AMG and 2003 C320 4Matic Miss my 993 Turbo above!!

I have personally seen the coolest set up for a front license plate mount. It is simply a plate encased in a frame that somehow magnetically stays on the front bumper. The magnet is some special type that fits behind the bumper and above the heat exchanger. Visually, I could not see the battery. It's very cool and it can be taken on and off quite easily. If someone could mass prduce a similar set up, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
