2006 c 230 sport
First Benz

New to the forum and new to Mercedes. Just purchased a pre-owned C230 sport. Already have a couple things ordered but I am looking for a carbon fiber trunk. All I seem to find are the carbon fiber spoilers. Can any help me out? Is there one even available?
Thanks
Bert

I have never seen a whole Carbon fiber trunk for a w203, I have seen them for w204s and other models but not a w203. You will have a hard time finding one, your better off seeing if theres a company who can custom make you one.

you'll want to be careful if you get a custom one made, you'll have to adjust the springs on the arms that pop open the trunk, if you keep it too tight can and force up the trunk too fast and can crack the cf and then it'll be meeting the rear windshield.
