Roof spoiler? Does it look good on the C230 sedan? taking input
Im thinking about putting a roof spoiler..on my 06 c230 WHITE but im not 100%. I know im getting a trunk lip spiler.. but roof spoiler i don't know of that will take away from a clean look.


What do you think? does a roof spoiler look good on a c230? if you do have one on your ride post a pic and let us know if you like it.
Thanks

i think it depends what color is you're w203. but for lighter colors i think the roof spoiler won't look nice. it kind of break the smooth lines of the vehicle.

but black hmm might look nice.

Nice spoiler(s) setup! Where did you get them from? I've been debating getting one for the longest time. I'd probably have to do the roof one flat black to match my roof though.... that might look weird though...

I don't like the roof spoiler at all on any color, but that's just my opinion. Check out the pictures of others who have it and if YOU like it, GO FOR IT!

I got them from www.formymercedes.com They came painted, but I don't remember how much. I think it was around 400 for both.

ya i have mixed feelings for the roof spoiler as well...i have an '05 black c230k ss and was thinking about getting one as well, but i think the trunk one is primarily important to me...plus im not sure whether i should go with cf or regular black painted...

That's not my car in the pictures. If you search under LorinserCClass, you'll find lots of pictures.

Definitely one of my fav W203s.

THanks for the web site. did they do a good job on the painting? any one know more websites of playes that deliver a good products?

Can't really tell by the pic to much but is that a Lip Spoiler for W203 Sedans
#DSD-W203LIP-A or the Sport Lip Spoiler for W203 Sedans
#DSD-W203LIP-Sport( that kinda curves)

Go trunk lid spoiler only - roof spoiler looks so Toyota/Honda. Spoils the classic lines of the car.

Funny thing is, I don't think I've ever seen a Toyota or Honda with a roof spoiler, but then again I live out in the sticks. I have the only car around here with a roof spoiler and I love it. It does require the trunk spoiler to pull it off in my opinion.

I think it would look good if you got a black roof spoiler and had your roof painted black too.

They are standard fitment to both Honda & Toyota on many models on our market so maybe I'm more sensitive to it.
