Everyone:

 

I just bought a 1991 560 SEC that has never been licensed in the U.S. The
stainless steel plates that attach to the bumpers and back the license
plates are about 4 inches longer than typical U.S. plates hence, you can see
a stainless steel border on each end of my Texas plates and it looks
half-finished. Does anyone have a source for a backing plate that matches
the matte grey finish of the bumpers? My only other options seems to be
priming and painting the existing stainless plates.

 

And, to Mark Reimers...I took delivery of my car in Costa Mesa and went east
across the desert through Tucson to Houston. This trip was also something of
a leap of faith but, like you, I decided to repair as I went, if necessary.
Not the scenic drive you will have but high speed (100-140 mph) cruising
across the desert is its own reward. Arrived in Houston without a scratch,
repair bill (Thank you Mercedes Benz), or a ticket (Thank you Passport).
Good luck and have a safe flight north.

 

Thanks for the help on the bumper plate everyone,

Willard Tredway
