To do, or not to do? Diffusor

I was reading in the Accessoires catalog from MB and noticed they have a diffusor for my luxury style C-class.

Like This:



Now this is how my car looks:



To do, or not to do?? Whats your opinion??

It looks like the diffusor in the pic only have one openning for exhaust? If so, I guess you will have to mod it to make it work but I think you should also

Sorry for the confusion:

By the diffusor i mean the thing in the middle, the other 2 for the exhaust are already on my car (picture 2) they call it rear aprom spoilers.

So i mean the diffusor between the exhausts (with the 4 holes.)

Hi German, do you have the LUXURY model? Or isnt it for yourself?

Part Number: A204 884 0008 this is for the diffusor only, the part in the middle with the 4 holes. (RRP in The Netherlands € 217,00 unpainted)



the 2 parts around the exhaust has diff part numbers (MB calls it: two-piece rear apron trim strip set) depending on

6 cylinder with the exhausts left and right (A204 880 0108)

and the 4 cylinders with only an exhaust on the left (A204 880 0008)

(RRP in The Netherlands € 332,00 unpainted)

Here a picture for those two-piece rear apron trim strip set WITHOUT diffusor



And before we get confusion, ITS ONLY FOR THE LUXURY MODELS, so not for the AMG package / sport versions.

sorry for the caps lock

And for every ones information, you can search for the EU accessoires for your MB at:


http://www.mb-configurator.net/mba/w...daaa&dyncnf=nl


It's in Dutch and RRP is for the Netherlands, but you can get part numbers from there and ask your local MB center for the US prices
