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?

#2 for me.

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.
