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

I can't even fit a North American licence plate on my car for some reason. I had to use tie wraps, because there are no screw holder holes. The piece behind where the license plate goes was repainted and I think where there were holes, the previous owner had them sealed.

I will work on a source for the #3 euro insert and keep you posted. I did find a source for the #2 insert though.

I was on www.eurocarparts.com and couldn't find the HELLA spoiler. I'd like to see it though.

I like 5. That's what I have on my '86 300E.

Where were you able to acquire that trunk lid?

So which is your favourite?

Again, your choice is limited to pictures one, two, or three.

Choices four through six were never made for the 300CE / E320 coupe.

The coupe trunk lid is shaped differently than that for the sedans.

Thus, I would select #2. I don't see why a huge license plate is beneficial.

Sorry for the delay. Mine came with my car. I would stay bone stock or upgrade to the funkiest AMG or Brabus I could find.
