G-Benz:
I'm a dealer tech, that's why in my original post, I said "last night at work", so the car is in the hands of it's owner. Irregardless, I don't have a digital camera anyways. The dealership has one, so I could get a photo on the net somehow. I've had a PC less than a year, so it would be hard for me to figure out how to post it here. If it comes in for service, I could probably email it to you directly and you could post it.
I did see a ML with the new style brush guard as I have described, but also with the additional skid plate. As I recall, the threaded holes on the back of the horizontal bar is for mounting the skid plate, so I am still at a loss for how foglights would mount. The skid plate and foglights may share a threaded hole.
On the license plate, as I said there was a license plate holder supplied with the kit. Maybe it was a recent addition by MB. It looked good, as far as license plate brackets usually go. In Wisconsin, we have 2 plates, so a front bracket is a neccesity. If you want, I can see if I can scrounge up the part number for the bracket. Are there a couple unthreaded holes on the back of the horizontal bar on yours? There were on the one I installed, the license bracket used these holes to keep itself located on the bar.
