Spare Tire Cover

I just bought my 08 E63 a couple of weeks ago and today I noticed how uneven the trunk was. I started looking for pics of other W211 trunks and realized I am missing a spare tire cover. I found a couple on eBay but just wanted to make sure I will get the right one (I know some came with a spare and some did not).

Here is a pic of my trunk:

Will this work from eBay?

If you have the black carpeted flat cover that forms the floor of your trunk, then I think that's all there is. When I lift up that cover in my car (2009), yours looks just like mine. I'm pretty sure that's all there is, as my car is a one owner car (besides me) and that guy was meticulous and I'm sure would have told me if it was missing. Also, my AMG tech is a friend and I'm also sure he would have told me if something was missing, as he knows how I am about my car. The white foam pieces are something I assume were added by another owner, if not you. If they are added to keep the spare from sliding around, you're missing the part that screws down on the spare hub to secure it.

The piece in the ebay ad looks like it may be for other W211's but I don't think it is for our E63's.

That eBay cover is for the 211s with an inflated spare tire.

Interesting. Thanks for the heads up. Does the the floor in your trunk rise a little towards the rear seats? I was just looking at that and realize that I will need to address that if I do install a subwoofer box back there. Might need to build my own trunk floor to make it all even.

Yep. I have a box with rear facing subs. Had to build a little lip on the front edge of the box to accommodate the slight height diff.
