Need a front license plate bracket for SL W129. Please help!
Hi,
I own 1997 SL600. Car was originally purchased in TX, where no front plate is required. Now, I have to register it in NJ, and pass inspection :confused: There was never a bracket, dealer didn't supply one initially, and there are no holes in the bumper. Any bracket from 1996-1999 SL320,500,600 would do, I think. Although the car is black, at this point, I would take any bracket available...;) If anyone out there has one to spare, please offer it to me!!!! Cheers to all, |
If you have a AMG Sport body style then you need
AMG Sport Bumper License Plate Bracket unpainted p/n WA1298850381 $226.00 US list If you have a Standard body style please check Russian Parts Site>129.076>88 Attachment Parts>030 Front Bumper Note: always confirm the p/n with your VIN when placing an order. |

You might try calling these guys, they sell aftermarket ones for many models on ebay...perhaps they have the correct one for your car. I ran into the same trouble when I bought my E300 but a helpful board member gave me one and saved me the trouble of tracking one down. |
Thanks a lot, guys!
Unfortunately, I've already asked the ebay seller you mention, and a few others, submitted a query thru automix.net, looked all over, nobody has it :o Now, I'll try to search with the part number (I have a regular body style, not AMG), will see how that goes... Thanks again! |
Part is found (and bought), good stuff!
Thanks again, guys! Cheers, -Alex. |

Ray652, just go to our very own http://www.peachparts.com
or contact Phil directly at 1 888 333 4642. You'd need a part number, which is 1298850981, and a color code of your car (yeap, this is a luxury vehicle indeed, hence the bracket is painted with your car's original color ;)). Should run you about $80 (domestic shipping included). Cheers, -Alex. |
thanks Lynn and Alex.
I am in Canada but right on the US border so I will go the US route. Does the color come from the VIN or is it enough to say 97 SL500 Red? I assume there was only one red that year?? I just bought "touch-up" paint from MB and maybe the receipt has the correct # as the parts guy went outside to inspect the car? I painted my Sirius satellite antenna red and now it blends perfectly. Been driving for 2 months without a front plate so I better get one quick. Thanks for the help. Ray |

BTW, my guess is that you have a 582 Imperial Red. But please verify! |

I did not use it on the car. I will get myself the kit you suggested since everyone seems to be happy with its performance. Yes thats the color....I remember the MB guy saying that Thanks |

Why don't you consider holding off on putting the license frame on the car until someone makes you? You don't show the front end but I'm sure it looks cleaner w/o the plate. Here's a picture of the front end of my car. |
