Front license plate "no holes" holder
Can someone direct me to where i might be able to find one of these, the ones i see are all for the C class or older models and i am not sure if out tow hooks are all the same. Thanks

I'd have preferred black spacers but they didn't have any.
Let me know what you think.

I ordered the one for the 63 from one of the venders mentioned above and it does not work!!! at all! i am going to need to buy many washers because our tow hook seems much deeper than the C classes, when mine went all the way in i had to unscrew a lot to use it. Then it isn't tight and the plate moves with ease . Also u can see where the tow hook cover is off/ it doesn't cover the hole. I am going to try and mod it and see what happens.

What I did was take a zip tie, threaded through the hole of the plate, through a hollow plastic spacer, around the mesh grill, then back through the spacer and the plate hole again. I zipped it tight and then clipped the ends (still need to trim more). I used longer spacers on the bottom so the plate looks flush. Let me know what you think, all parts available at home depot for about $4.00

Which one did you get? I want something that will easily work out of the box..

You can only buy it for a C, and i have it and it doesn't work. Maybe for a regular E but not for my 63. what mods did you have to do? looks like its gonna need a couple big washers

So I ordered the gomingo kit. I actually measured out the distance from the bumper edge to the tow hook screw. I spoke with their sales guy and he sent the kit with an extension arm. I did use all the washers and got it to fit. It did take a little bending but it works great.

Btw, I also used the offset bracket. I guess if you used the standard bracket, it would have fully covered the hole.
Attached are some pics of what it looks like installed. Sorry they are blurry, blame it on my cell phone :P

I talked to Jason at Gominigo. He is solid and was very helpful.

I was trying to go the same route, but the parktronic problem makes me worried.

I'm glad I'm no longer live in the NJ/NYC area or in a state that requires the front plate. Got two no-plate tickets while in NJ back then, one in Kearny and one in Newark.

I would recommend calling the guys at Gomingo - they were really helpful!

thank you for the ideas
Hello,
I am new to this forum and and a new owner of a 2010 e63. I am in California, so front license plates are a must, especially in Los Angeles. I used twowheelmarc's idea and went a little farther by using j-bolts with aluminum spacers and capnuts to clean it up. I didnt have to take off the bumper or drill any holes. hopefully the image i uploaded shows ok.
