New Trunk Spoiler!! (56K BEWARE)

Well, i finally made my 1st modification on the w203. This is the 1st of many more to come.

After months and months of research, as well as the fact that i didn't like the C55 or 230k sport spoilers this is what i came up with.


I will eventually find a better way to stick it onto the trunk, but for now this will have to do! Currently using 3m tape.

I love it.

Excuse the dirty car. I took these after I was off work today.

Let me know what you think.

You're too hard on yourself, it's not that dirty. At least I can't see it. Just need to polish the muffler tip.

The trunk spoiler, it does look great. Perfect colour match.

When you get it stuck onto the trunk properly, then it'll be 100% sublime, perfect.

Hey man congrats on the ride, I'm not feeling the spoiler tho' and the only reason i think it is too small for the trunk!

Ummmm I'm not sure but is that an audi emblem on the back of your car?????
What ;s up with that?

Yea, I noticed that emblem there too. At first I was wondering where it came from, it looked familiar. Then the light bulb went over my head.

It's not what I'd call "small," I'd call it "subtle."

HMMM... that's an M3 style right? I thought it will not look right on W203s, but I was wrong. Nice and clean man.

Actually it's taken on top of the building on the corner, next to AAA. You pretty much named the two other building next to it

I think i can almost proudly say i'm the only w203 with this mod. (almost)

The reason i went with it is because it's very suttle.

Looks much better in person
