I know I already answered you, but I have pictures somewhere on here also. And mig888 and I also had some pics of the "ghetto" harness that can be used (either plastic license plate holder from NAPA or metal connectors from OSH) rather than the expensive (well, it was expensive before) MB OEM version.

is SOLD
you can get it from mbnl.com from steve. i believe you also need to make custom brackets to hold onto the us plates since the mounting holes are different.

Here is a link that will be helpful:
LINK: Euro Trunklid Inserts
It has all the information you need from MBenzNL, to the ghetto brackets both mig888 and I made, to NO_WUR_E's bracket purchased directly from MB.

Since I don't want to start a new thread, and I'm interested in getting a Euro Trunk Insert (Trunklid) I decided to bump this thread rather than start a new one.
What I want to know is:
-- Where would I get a carbon fiber one like this one:
-https://mbworld.org/forums/classifieds/232382-sold-carbon-fiber-euro-trunk-insert-w203-c-class.html
-https://mbworld.org/forums/2658573-post1.html
(There's also a picture of it with a Red Car)
-- What's the best way to mount both the Euro and US plate?
I'd like to have the Europlate behind the US plate.
I don't mind a short answer such as: "There's no special bracket made as of yet, just get creative."
Thanks![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
I've already searched online all over, and I can't find a mention of it other than some taiwan ebay-like site.
I can't read chinese/taiwanese, so... yeah. Help please guys

What the ****, it's just overlay?
No one makes a true CF rep?
Guess I'll have to do it the long way...
Order from Steve, paint, and find this overlay.
New question: Where do I get this CF Overlay?
Or will I just have to get it wrapped somewhere?
Any recommendations near San Francisco, CA?

If you read what I just posted, u would see I listed eBay UK (ebay.co.uk) I think mine was like only like 24$ shipping was actually more like around 46$ . I am pretty sure any w203 sedan insert will work cuz I bought one off a 2002 c class and it fit my 06 C55. Just had to have it painted for 100$

There are plenty more on there. Make sure it is for a SALOON (UK talk for sedan) because some are for ESTATE (station wagon).
Also, if anyone is doing this conversion and is thinking of switching to these LED license lights:
http://m.ebay.com/itm/121213468725?nav=SEARCH&sbk=1
This would be a good time to buy and install since you need to remove the license plate housing to install them anyways.
Here is a picture of result with euro plate conversion and led lights.
