euro/us plate fillers

[Van Westervelt]

Anyone know the oem part # for US filler? The realoem.com link above looks to be for the euro filler.

I have gone through all this filler crap. Every filler despite the real shape, looks like the early model euro filler on the diagrams. The US filler is found by pulling up the US 93 cabby in real oem just in that link. Not all the drawings are to spec. If you put 91 in, you will get the early model filler. Yes it is odd, but I know all this from ordering every part number for plate fillers they have.

Early model plate filler:

51-13-1-888-450 Euro
51-13-1-888-463 US

Late Model plate fillers:

51-13-1-961-241 Euro
51-13-1-961-242 US

So, Curt, where is that early filler? I want one...and you can't use it.

The Stealer here told me it was only in Germany, would see it in 8 weeks.

I ordered it, it is sitting at Kuni. I wasn't going to pay 65 bucks for a filler that wouldnt fit either of my cars. I had to go out and show them why it wouldnt work. They looked for 90 minutes collectively for the Late US one on the computer. I found it on real OEM in 2 minutes at home. Dick heads. If you want me to pick it up for you I can. Its 65 and no waiting.

Ummm...I will wait, thanks!

You know what a cheapass I am.

Thanks, though!

Bav Auto actually has the genuine US filler for $33. Not bad.
