I've got a genuine AMG lip spoiler on mine AC63 but it's a painted ABS unit to match the vehicle paint not a carbon fibre one.
I'm not really into the whole carbon fibre look thing, IMHO they look 10x better colour coded, but each to their own
If you are going to get a carbon fibre one then go for the real thing, I've seen quite a few fake or 'cover over' carbon fibre spoilers and they look totally horrific

C250 Coupe, AMG Sport Plus, Comfort Pack, Vision Pack
Just took delivery on Friday! Pics are in the Pictures area of my new car but man its just fantastic to drive. there are so many functions and toys in it! I've connected my iPhone 5 using the media interface and via bluetooth, and android phone syncs just fine too. I'm new to Matte paint but mine is a matte silver so i'll need to learn how to look after this paint.
I'm in Brisbane too btw

Hello Paladiumcoupe I'm located in Melbourne, spoiler was sourced directly from my MB dealer and then had it perfectly colour coded by a local specialist MB paint and repair shop, I initally tried fro months to source a genuine unit from ebay etc. with no luck, sorry I can't offer a better/cheaper alternative for yourself but hope you can source one
Nice congrats
With the paint just take as much care as you can whenever you wash it using quality products and very importantly clean mits, chamois and anything else that touches the paint surface etc. and it should be just fine

I still havnt managed to find anyone locally that can source a CF spoiler for our cars though there are a few oversea suppliers that now offer this. I was looking at this one in particular from ebay:
Carbon Fiber MERCEDES BENZ 11+ W204 C class coupe C204 AMG type trunk spoiler §
Ive also come across a few other websites/companies that now offer CF spoilers, front lips and diffusers though I've forgotten the websites.
Hope this helps.

Local MB dealers can get one for you Blinks ie. genuine OEM, but it'll cost you a small fortune 
The ABS one is anywhere from $800-1500AUD. and a CF twice that
Given time I'm sure there'll be alot more of these sorts of things available and more OEM parts should be floating around in future, this C Coupe is still quite new so it takes some time after model releases for parts to become available
