M3 spoiler on a c-class?

Does anyone know if its possible to fit the M3 rear trunk lip spoiler on a c class sedan? i know it fits on the audi a4 b5 bodystyle and i know it fits on the Is300, but has anyone seen this done before on a benz? I think it might look really good. please post pics or any information.

i have seen it once. i asked a shop if they can do this but they told me that they would have to heat the spoiler and reshape it a little to form the trunk....but not sure if they just wanted to charge me more....

not very good looking imo...new S4 and the e46 M3 both has little spoiler because the shape of their trunk doesn't incorporate a spoiler like the 203 C-class. By adding on a spoiler doesn't do much good other than giving some people the "WOW" effect, kinda like the Beetle 1.8T with the little spoiler on the back that use to only opens when it reach 90mph where it actually comes in effect compare to the now opens at 45 mph for the look factor more than the actual work.

when you say the m5 spoiler fits better...is it because its wider or what? and what kind of work is required to get the spoiler to fit the car?

m5 spoiler

it is longer, fits end to end. any body shop should be able to modify for you. it just needs more of a curve/bend.

AMG makes a nice little lip spoiler for the sedan (similar to the one I have on my coupe)....there's also a wing type spoiler available from MB. Both can be ordered from your local MB parts counter.

Well, i tried it and it doesnt fit. The length is right but the pitch is way off. When I get a chance let me see if I can find one that fits.

Does anyone knows the part # for that AMG lip spoiler (for the sedan)? I've been looking for that for awhile. Thanks!
