Hmmm... I dont know. :/
I put on the FMM C55 Lip last night taped it up and let it sit for about 15 hours. here is what it looks like.
Im torn right now. i like it but i dont. i dont know. if any one was interested to know about the FMM fitment i would give it 95% every thing fits great till the very ends. its flush all the way around but the tips have like 1/10th of an inch from touching the trunk lid. i tryed pushing it down as hard as i can and they will stick for about 30 sec then pop back up. i even placed 2 heavy boxes on the ends to hold them down for about 2 hours and they did the same thing. im going to get sone super strong adhessive i can squirt in there to hold it down and ill be golden.

I think it looks good..... Try some heavy duty adhesive and see if that works better. Looks like the paint matches perfectly, was it factory paint, or after market?

Did it come w/ installation instructions? Exactly what steps did you take to install it? Can you describe the adhesive it came with? I may be wrong, but I think you may have it about 1/4"-1/2" too high. I could have sworn that from the pics I've seen, the cut-out section for the 3rd brake light sits flush with the top edge of the 3rd brake light lens. Either way, I think you're unsure about it because it's such a rare mod and looks so different from you've been looking at on W203 sedans for so long. I'd bet that the look will grow on you 
I can't wait to get mine from soilerdepot.com!!!!!!!!

I can't wait to get mine from soilerdepot.com!!!!!!!!i used a very light 50/50 mix of windex and water. placed it on and slid it in to place, then used blue painters tape to tape it in place and wait for the water/windex to dry a bit. then pressed in to place.
i dont know how it can be sitting to high its flush on top with the deck lid. cant go down any further. I may just take it off, remove all the tape and just use a silicone to hold it in place. that may just work better. i dont know. if i can get the sides down ill be happy. funny thing is i was looking through the threads here about spoiler installs and the C55 spoiler and i found this:

05' c230
my c230 came with a spoiler from the dealer, but i dont know if that is the kind you guys are talking about. it looks very similar, but im not too familiar with the different styles offered for the car.
i was still iffy about it at first, but after a while i love it. it really gives the car a different look and still keeps the car classy looking.

i drive them all, fast and hard
my fitment was abit shoddy initially when i had it on with the tape but i spent 50 bucks and went to a body shop where they put it on proper with glue adhesive. id say fitment is 97% good enuf for me. i just drove 2000 miles in speeds excess of 100 and it stayed on perfectly. i could feel the extra HP that it gave me tooo
