212 Sedan Accessory Styling Package
I am thinking about adding the Accessory Styling Package to my White Sedan "Sport". Does anyone have the roof and rear spoilers? Obviously, its strictly a comedic thing. If so... please post some pictures. Thanks.

I have posted more pictures that I have found that include the spoilers. I will be adding these to my new 212 when I take possession of it later this month.

I'm not big on the roof spoilers. I think it kind of ruins the Pano Roof effect in a way too.
The rear lip looks good on the 212, however in some pics, it accentuates the "squareness" of the car too much, as both the roof and trunk spoilers are a bit too "angular/straight cut".
I'm toying with getting a rear lip on mine. Probably would go aftermarket though as I don't wanna pay OEM/Dealer prices. Then the whole "quality/fitment" worry comes into play....

They all apply via adhesive, even the Factory ones. Go figure...

On "check out" they applied a discount. So far so good... Very good communication with the owners and got notification it was sent out today. I pick up my 2011 on Friday, so the timing appears perfect. Will post pictures and let you know how the spoiler is as soon as it arrives.

I totally agree on the fitment worry of the lip spoiler, I could'nt be happier with the roof spoiler though, just my '02

I'm really considering purchasing the spoiler as well, but really wanted to get a member's 1st hand feedback before placing the order. So do let us know those who have already ordered!

That's awesome Philly!
Thanks for the feedback. Looks like they probably just earned this board's business. Let's hope they give us all the same treatment they gave you.
Thanks again!

Agreed! I'm thinking of just doing it. I do like the look without the lip as well, can't decide which I like "better" per-se, but the added individuality of having a Lip makes it almost worth it alone for me.
Looks like that Company indeed will earn some business.
Just to make sure, is the paint matching 100% perfect?

I used (per the directions) a little cylicone adhesive to bolster the bond. Took 1 minute to apply a thin bead down the "Angeled Joint". Make sure the surface
is clean, before appling. Before taking the adhesive off and adding the cylicone
I did a dry run and placed small 1/4 tape marks to border the exact placement
on where it should go. Place it down after the adhesive is ready and have a buddy hold one side down with two hands while you do the other side. I'd give it 10 minutes or so. Then place 6-7 strips of masking tape to I sure a good hold. Withing 30 minutes I took the tape off and it was perfect. That baby is going nowhere (but fast). Good luck.

Amazing, thanks. Probably gonna order mine asap. P.S: Don't forget to post some pics of that interior! Also, give us a little note about the 3D Nav graphics compared to the older style (if you've seen it) when you get a chance!
P.P.S: What's interesting to me re: the Spoiler, is M-B charges SO much for it, if you buy it after the fact, but the MBUSA Site has it listed for only $300 as an Option from the factory.

Just ordered it! Thanks BPhilly.
I knew I could sit around all day thinking whether I think it looks better or worse with or without it, but I'll always secretly know it looks better with it, which is why it was always on my "Mod" List for the W212 (I always thought it kind of needs it). Plus, it's only $215. What a deal.
BTW, for Arctic White, I saw lots of information OnLine saying it's Paint Code 147, but then some conflicting info says 650, on my door jam, it says 650, so I went with that.
