03 c320 coupe
diff. btw. Coupe & sedan roof spoilers ?

well i was thinking, the difference must b huge between the coupe & sedan roof spoilers so that no1 every tried to fit a sedans spoiler on a coupe with a little modifications...
any1 knows y it doesnt fit ? got the dimensions ????
i think its worth it to give it a try, because the lorinser spoiler for the coupe isnt just rare, but it costs around 500 new + paint + shipping and thats A LOT of a spoiler... especially for 2002 2003 coupes...


DIMENSIONS ??

the difference is about 5" (if i remember correctly, coupe=42" sedan=47")

the lorinser roof spoilers are pretty...rare.

they sell them on ebay for $450+ w/o shipping and w/o paint.

You're kidding right?

Well... I guess what you want could be done, but it would take a ton of work and even with that I doubt the seam would ever look quite right because I really doubt the curvature would line up after removing ~5". I would imagine there would be a ton of bondo and sanding involved.

it wont work, the sedan ones are quite flat, as for the coupe ones are curved. if you take a line thats semi-curved (for example)... _____________ then trimmed the 5" off it, would turn out like _____-------- wont really match up.
