ebay amg rear diffuser, will it fit on 2013 C350 4matic coupe? the seller says "no"

I'm found these 2 listings on ebay

http://www.ebay.com/itm/281865725387...S:1123&vxp=mtr

http://www.ebay.com/itm/181686791187...S:1123&vxp=mtr

I contacted both sellers. Both sellers say it will not fit on the 2013 C350 coupe.

Is that true? Any of you bought this and "forced fit" it? How much "force fitting" is required?

In my opinion I don't see why it wouldn't but then again I'm not a master mechanic. I would think that as long is you are replacing one w204 piece for another is shouldn't really matter if it's for the coupe of sedan. I see a lot of members swapping out the their rear diffuser for the c63 style one. You might want to check out some of the forum merchants to see what they have. I know ebay is a great cheaper alternative but you never really know what you are going to get. Hope this helps.

I have a hard time believing that the sedans use a different diffuser then the coupes. If this were true, believe me, you wouldnt have to wonder as it would generate threads all over the forums discussing it.
As long as your car has the facelifted AMG bumper (Which it does) it will fit just fine, sedan or coupe.
As far as the "force fitting" goes, not quite sure as to what you mean. Basic rule of thumb says an aftermarket part will never offer the fit of which the OEM does.

thanks lowflyer. I guess I'll take my chances and order one. When I say "force fitting", I'm referring to drilling new holes, creating my own mounting brackets, incorrect snap fasteners, etc

Ah, I see. No need to worry about that part, I put one on my C204 so I get where your coming from. No big deal, I just ran a self tapping screw through each side where the OEM attached. Once you get the old one off you'll see what needs to be fabricated as its pretty basic. I still intend to mount mine better but for now its good to go with screws.

Let us know how it goes cause I'm looking into getting one as well somewhere down the line. Just need to figure out which exhaust I'm going to go with.

It maybe awhile before I get to that install. It's kinda cold right now in NYC, and we're suppose to get hit withI big snow storm. I don't feel like freezing my hands of outside installing a rear diffuser =p
