I purchased this German plate from http://germanstuff4you.com/index.html and it cost about $12.50 plus shipping.  Looks like an authentic German plate (or a close copy).  I actually don't even like front plates but the W201 does not have the option of a filler panel for the front plate (like the W124 does) so the Euro plate is a nice touch.  I also purchased a Euro plate mount and attached my temp sensor to the back side.





Since this Euro plate was never designed to fit on a US spec impact strip, I added some spacers to the screws.  These spacers allow me to affix the plate holder to the US plate indentation without cracking the holder.  The screws on the outer part of the plate holder are screwed directly into the impact strip (no going back to the US plate now!)




Of course I had 2PHAST stamped into the new plate.  The plate snaps into the holder then the holder snaps shut.  Nice design and keeps you from drilling holes into your Euro plate.
