#7654 of 8163 Front License Plate by ripleyiii Feb 26, 2005 (6:03 pm)
Here in California we have two license plates, and I never installed the front one until a kind police officer reminded me that it should be done. (I have a ML500 '02.) My "fix it" ticket is coming due soon. So Mercedes kindly sold me the front moulding that fits my model for a mere $90. (Primed, I had to paint it myself. What do you expect for $90..?) But no attaching hardware or any kind of instructions came with it. Has anyone ever attached one of these before? There are dots on the front bumper to indicate where the moulding is to be attached, but with what? I doubt I could get inside or behind the bumper to attach a nut. It's really frustrating.

Typically you drill a pilot hole in the bumper and use a self-tapping screw, like a sheet metal screw. MB has them if you can't find the right thing at Home Depot.   - Mark Replies to this message: ripleyiii (Feb 27, 2005 8:48 am)

Replying to: markjenn (Feb 27, 2005 12:02 am) Thanks, Mark. Well, that doesn't surprise me. There's probably no other way of attaching something to a hard plastic bumper with no access to the inside. I just didn't want to deal with the concept of drilling into it, but drill I will.   - Don
#7657 of 8163 Drill Away by markjenn Feb 27, 2005 (8:28 pm)
I worried about drilling the bumper on my last new car, but did it anyway. Later, I took the plate off for a period and was able to cover the holes with some small circles of colored tape. It looked better than the dimples.   - Mark

Replying to: xmf314 (Mar 18, 2005 10:38 am) That would explain the massive pile up on the bike path!   First the BMW owners have to learn how to unfold them though:     (link)   Steve, Host
#7662 of 8163 Re: Fuel filter [markjenn] by bikerider58 Mar 20, 2005 (9:43 pm)
Replying to: markjenn (Feb 09, 2005 8:27 pm) Mark,   Do I need the special tool to disconnect the fuel lines? It's time for a filter change on my 2000 ML.
#7663 of 8163 Fuel Filter by markjenn Mar 21, 2005 (9:48 am)
Bikerider, I haven't done it personally - the dealer did it because I was having them do the TSB to upgrade the fuel filter.   Typically, you can get these high pressure clamps off with screwdriver and cutters, but you're supposed to use a special clamp tool to put them back on. Sorry, don't have any better info.   - Mark
