Amg C63 Rear Diffuser?
can anyone kindly confirm whether the original C63 rear diffuser (the bottom black part wit the venturi fins) would fit perfectly onto a standard W204 AMG sports package rear bumper?
judging from pictures and close ups i have with the C63 (at a motor show) and my current W204, i am very inclined to believe that it fits perfectly.
i have tried asking MB parts stockists whether they can ship in the C63 rear diffuser but they mentioned tat currently MB will not sell any C63 parts to stockists UNLESS they are given the car's chassis number...
the only reason i can think of to have such control is to ensure the exclusivity of their AMG cars... for too long it was too easy to dress up one's ride to look like the real deal...leaving actual AMG owners to feel a tad bit "common"..
is tat the case? but probably not the only reason i guess.
anyone can enlighten?

You're probably right. Go read through the AMG threads. Any attempt to use any AMG parts on a car that's not an AMG will have you labled a poser. Who cares if you like how it looks?
Placing an AMG badge on something that is not AMG is lame. Using some of the AMG body parts shouldn't be such a big deal. Some just look so good, it's hard to resist. That diffuser would look great on a C Sport. It would compliment the AMG style body.

how much does it cost? I was thinking about that from day 1, it looks like its gonna fit, but the problem is how to cover it so it will look good with twin pipes instead of the quad with C63!

tks for the replies fellas... there is not a single AMG badge on my ride except for the carmats tat came wit it...
looking at some of the aftermarket diffusers (brabus - which doesnt fit the sports pack bumper anyways, Carlssons & lorinser), i find the ones on the C63 the best looking and not too over the top.
i think the most tat i will ever do is to make a carbon fibre copy of the C63 rear diffuser once i get my hands on them..
cheers

amg badge
Hi guys!
From my opinion u can put the AMG badge but not the C63 badge. Reason being because u are using AMG parts such as the rear diffuser etc...Afterall you are helping out AMG making a profit.It is normal for benz enthusiast to put AMG badge although is not. Giv the people like us some imagination b4 we can ever afford the real one.
The C63 rear diffuser looks wild! i luv it. If u decide not to use quad exhaust the picture below might giv u some unique ideas, by just changing the exhaust tip base on your dual exhaust.

exhaust tip
Yes it does look like the Kleeman exhaust.thx 4 telling me,now i know...but when i check on the Kleeman website this particular exhaust is not available for W204 yet,mayb soon. at the moment can custom make exhaust tip wit polished steel finish. i still think it would look awesome.

Listen, enough of this poser garbage. Its ridiculous. Do you really care whether or not people badge their cars AMG when they aren't? You would think AMG owners IF ANYONE would be making these types of comments. Doesn't seem that way though. Besides, if there weren't those out there who badge non-AMGs AMGs people who do drive AMGs wouldn't have anybody to point and laugh at on the highway. So please!! Put your AMG badges on anything with a 3 pointed star on the hood so I can laugh at you as I pass you at 140

I would never put AMG parts or badges on a base car. Unless they were specifically made for our car. No use in trying to convince myself or others it's LIKE an AMG.
I thought the C350 already has AMG styling anyway.

I wish I wouldn't have brought up the poser stuff. I was making a joke. I like the AMG diffuser, grille and wheels. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with using them.
In the VW/ Audi world they called it OEM plus, when you upgrade your car using parts from more expensive or newer models. I don't recall anyone using badging from a different vehicle though.
I love comments like "I'll blow by you in my real AMG." (smiley jerkin' it)
I've had plenty of cars that were faster than AMGs of the day that were half the price. Embarassing? Who knows, it means nothing. I considered a few C32s and C55s when searching for a MB. They were fast in a straight line, and I may still get one at some point, but as for all around performers, there are better cars.
Anyway, I hope you get the diffuser. I am looking forward to seeing it. I'm going to avoid the negative threads, and again, sorry I brought it up. I'm just here to sare in the enjoyment of a really cool car.

Why does Mercedes have to use AMG parts for the sports version of the w204? Like the airdam / bumper
They even allow us to purchase AMG 17 or 18 rims.
I think it's ok to call those cars AMG as long as real AMG parts were used.
But a regular C300 or C350 to be label as C63 is a NO NO.Then one becomes a poser.
