When I bought my 1999 E300 TD it didn't have a front license plate bracket. I didn't realize this unitl the CT plates came in the mail (n=2). CT law requires front and rear plates. I was getting serviced last week and asked to have one installed. The dealer said they don't carry them in stock and that they were $800 a piece! I just checked Parts shop as a back-up and couldn't find them listed. Any one else experience this?
