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.

I've been told by the dealer that it is a bill in front of the NJ state senate, but no decision or vote on it yet, certainly no ETA mentioned on when the bill may become law.

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, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
