Spoiler

I just took delivery of my 2005 MB C320 yesterday and I was wondering if there were any cool lookin' spoilers out there. Also, are engine mods uncommon for this car? I think it has great potential with some quality parts.

Please dont put one of those park bench looking wings on a Mercedes. They look hideously stupid on sedans.

Tell that to Wiedermann! I think his C32 would have issue with you on that.

Reuben,

That's your car, right? Is that the '05 OEM C-Class, OEM C55, or other?

Also, are you a cop?

1) dealer.
2) yes, see #1
3) each dealer has different price, call & ask.
4) $1 made out of construction paper, and all the way up to $1000 if you want carbon fiber
5) replicas suck
6) bad quality

Have you looked and searched over on the C32/C55 forum yet?

Your body shop and the MB dealer are *******g morons them. Find another dealer.

The picture you posted is an MB picture, for godsakes. Of course that is an OEM spoiler. It is right out of the Build Your Own feature on the MBUSA.com site.

There are pictures of the C55 spoiler both on MBUSA.com website and in many places on this forum.

You are correct Kev. If you look at the 2005 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Accessories Brochure at any dealership, you will see that exact picture
of the OEM spoiler. Same one Rubenl has.

The picture that BabyBenz6spd posted above, is identical to the 2004 OEM MB Spoiler for the C-Class Sedan & Sport Sedan.

The rear end of C55 should be the same as the other C's, although the nose of the C55 is longer

Thanks ! good to know. I was under the impression that the AMG C55 might be a little wider than the regular C line. I think it just looks that way due to it's length and AMG body-kit lines.

So I guess, it's safe to say, that C32 and C55 AMG spoilers will fit regular C-Class sedans.

Also, notice that the OEM accessory MB spoilers for C-Classes change every year. At least I've noticed differences in their annual Accessory Brochures.

I'm pretty sure this is correct. The C55 borrows its front-end from the CLK (to fit the larger engine), but the rest of the body I believe is identical to the other C-class sedans.

I don't know if the OEM spoiler changes *every* year, but the '05 is definitely different from the '04. You're right, the '04 is the wing-type that babybenz6spd posted. The '05 is a lip spoiler as pictured in the accessory brochure. But still not the same as the C55's spoiler.

yes, they will. how many time do i have to repeat that we all have the same freaking trunk!!!

the accessories are all made by other company. changes every year because MBusa stock them differently every year.
