I am wondering which style trunklid would look best on my silver 1989 300ce. Here are the different versions I found so far to choose from:

1st. (1988-1989) style


2nd. (1990-1993) North American style


3rd. (1990-1993) Euro style


4th. (1994-1995) North American style


5th. (1994-1995) Euro style


6th. Cabrio style with light integrated


7th. Aftermarket #1. Trunk lid with integrated spoiler

7th probably. otherwise 2nd

Do you know where to buy #7 trunk lid spoiler? I can't seem to find the supplier info for that one.

i thought that was the whole trunk u need to buy. not just a add on spoiler

Actually, that's what I meant. I realze that the trunk lid and spoiler is one piece. Do you know where I can buy that trunk lid?

Thanks

you should probably get one that fits the license plate you have to use. personally, i would just use the one that's on the car now and spend upgrade money on something that makes the car corner or stop better.

I was thinking if I did get a Euro trunk lid, I could put a Euro plate and then a North American plate on top of it. I've seen it on a few cars. Speaking of cornering better. My car has a brand new set of Bilstein Heavy Duty shocks. If I decided to lower the car with say Eibach springs, can I use these shocks or will I have to buy the Bilstein Sport? Here is a link I found:

I like 7 as well, but 6 is kool too. I once found a distributor for the #7, but I emailed them said lets do this, and they were gone so its actually good I didnt act sooner, probably woulda got shafted, they were in lithuania, autonoksa.lt, cheap too only like $350 USD i think. And erebuni used to have them, now i dunno... If you or anybody finds out, post up, they're pretty kool. Otherwise, it looks like it'll be a custom job from a body shop. Probably not even all that complex but probably cost a bunch.

BTW, I think the CE corners and stops just dandy, no "need" to upgrade. Especially around town and stuff, the ride is "sporty" enough.

There is a member in the forum by the name of KaRaKaN who has #7. Take a look:

post pics of all W124 cars !!!!!!!!!!

I personally like the trunk lids in your icon.

And what is good, Phaedrus, and what is not good -- Need we ask anyone to tell us these things?

The 2nd. (1990-1993) North American style is actually the same for 1994-1995 in the coupes.

The 4th. (1994-1995) North American style is a sedan. The coupes and cabriolets never got the chrome strip beneath the star logo. They kept the black strip.

Of course, the badge was changed to E320 and the tail lights were changed to red / clear.

I believe the coupes trunk lid has a different shape, and that from the sedan can't be retrofitted.

your '89 should look like the first #1 pic. if so, your euro tag will fit with a plate holder.

last year i tried very hard to get/find a #3 euro insert, ventually the U.S. dealer got tired of trying and told me it wasn't available.

if you find a source, i'd be interested.

you/we only need the 'euro filler panel insert'.
they have to be a hell of a lot cheaper to ship than a entire decklid.

if we can only find a motivated non-us located member who would/will help


BTW the rear deck lid spoilers are available from www.eurocarparts. get the 'hella' one.
these were common [somewhat] on w201's and the w124's.

also rather tasteful i think
