click on the link below to see the panel I'm talking about...scroll to the bottom of the page and notice the 300E pictured...it's the panel that extends between the taillights... http://www.statusimports.homestead.com/supersprintmbz.html The "opening" for the license plate is much wider than the U.S. version...If anyone else can help, please feel free to chime in...thanks in advance, Bill
