Front License Plate Removal?
Does anybody know if its possible to remove the front license plate mount on a W211? Im scared that if I take it off there are going to be two holes left in my bumper where the mount was drilled in. Any help anybody?

I hate to break it to you, there will be holes. My car was delivered with the factory supplied bracket installed and when I removed it, to my extreme displeasure, there were not two, but 4 holes... F'ing dealer. Sucks, but what can you do?

Here was my solution to the same problem.

You can even put the plate back on, and then take it off again as needed.

Go to www.bumperplugs.com. I was lucky and told the dealer not to install the front plate. I used this company for my 01 996 TT and it is simple and hides the hole.

Too big to fit the tiny MB holes. The Porsche holes are much bigger and due to that the BumperPlug plugs head is the size of a damn nickel.
