Yes, you can fill in that front license plate area with a delete panel available at all MB dealers for about $89.00 There's a good picture of what it looks like on a 300CE at this link: http://www.dhc.net/~pmhack/mercedes/300CE902.HTM

If you have trouble finding it, try calling Smythe Mercedes Benz in San Jose, CA. Sorry, don't have their #.

Is this an answer looking for a question?

Sorry, this was a reply to SS109's question that I posted incorrectly.

Funny, I was just at Smythe European yesterday picking up some parts :). They are VERY helpful and have a huge inventory of parts. You can call 'em Toll-Free: 1-800-2-SMYTHE. You might also want to check their website at
