WTB hard to find coupe parts
Hey guys, in I'm hoping there's a former coupe owner lurking here who might have a lead on some of these hard to find parts:
-Brabus front lip
-Renntech style rear spoiler
-Rear hatch spoiler? (Undecided on if I like this look or not)
-AMG bumper (might be easier to find than the brabus lip at this point)
-Folding mirrors switch
-Brabus front lip
-Renntech style rear spoiler
-Rear hatch spoiler? (Undecided on if I like this look or not)
-AMG bumper (might be easier to find than the brabus lip at this point)
-Folding mirrors switch

The folding mirror switch also requires new mirrors (the base part) as well as (I think) a new front SAM. Simply installing the switch does not enable this feature.
The rear hatch spoilers come in several flavours. I got mine (OEM) from the dealer. Not as aggressive as the other brands, but it's a very clean look.
The AMG bumpers are here and there. Not sure how many are still around though. Maybe try a dealer as well?

I'm aware of what's needed for the folding mirrors. I've been gathering parts here and there at no rush. The switch is the last piece I need, but ridiculously priced at the dealer, even at cost.
USA parts departments can't import the AMG bumper from Germany, I've been down that road.
I think the spoiler I like is from Renntech, I saw it on a coupe in the archives here that was owned by "Infected". Do you have some side profile shots of yours? I think I know which one you're referring to. The AMG lip?

If you're desperate, you can also try Steve ie MBenzNL. He can get you pretty much anything, but it probably won't be cheap either.
Here are a couple of shots of my rear hatch spoiler (AMG). Almost can't see it unless you know what to look for. Infected's front bumper lip is a Brabus.

Nice car. I've come close to buying that spoiler. It's strange how I can source that AMG part, but get shut out on the bumper. The search continues.
