I have a w123 euro with the rear license plate mounted on an AMG bumper. I've been pulled over twice for not having license plate lights. Since I don't like the bumper very much, I'd like to see about replacing the bumper and mounting the license plate where it's supposed to be. I inspected my trunk and found two slots where the lights mount, but since they're spaced kinda far apart, I'm not even sure if it will be possible to mount a US license plate without mutilating my car a bit. I may sell this car in the near future, so I don't want it to be too wonky.
