Nah, there is no insert for the coupes. The whole hatch (or at least the portion below the back glass) must be replaced, which is what Carlos is doing.

The mirrors I had a set of OEM mirrors custom covered with carbon fiber. The license insert you can get from that link. I got mine from a friend over in Taiwan.

I am seeing if they can get it made in silver carbon, i do not see why they can not do it.

I couldn't really read any of it, but I searched w203 and they have some amazing deals. I'm just worried that shipping will cost an arm and a leg. I was using a currency calculator I found online to figure out the prices in usd. Here's one I was using http://www.x-rates.com/calculator.html

Oops I was thinking of the wrong part. The frames are nice for the carbon lover though.

Sounds like you know from experience.

these look pretty nice, but i feel like even an authentic one will be regarded as a cheap plastic one by anyone that sees it

But this one is authentic and has 4 holes for screws that may be able to secure the trunk insert better since on another thread someone couldn't secure the trunk insert at all.

p.s. The one you linked looks nice tho.

uh, the license plate frame would not be a factor in determining whether or not the trunk insert could be secured to the trunk lid at all.

even if it was, you could still secure the bottom two screws to the plate and then put the frame over it and then secure the top two screws with the frame.
