BTW, there were 3 OEM, now 4 W204 spoilers.... I believe? A small trunk lip version for the C250-300 (before MY 2012), a larger lip which came std on the C350 sport, and yet another for the C63. Then came the one seen above for the 2012 C300. Did not order it with the car. Instead I purchased the larger C350 lip, painted it to match and installed it our new car! Very nice!

2012 spoiler

I really like the thinner 2012 spoiler. Do you know where one can purchase it besides the dealer? links?

I took a chance with these guys... I figured that if it sucked I would simply throw it away because it was so cheap! Well, it came real fast, there were no import duties nor taxes, it was painted beautifully and real glossy, the color matched perfectly, and the fit and finish was OEM perfecto! No ripples, nor any distortion. Went on in minutes.. Looks great! Amazing deal! However, this is not the smaller spoiler, but the one off the W204 C350 Sport Sedan. It will fit any W204 C Class Sedan.

Don't let their website nor this picture fool you, it's BETTER LOOKING LIVE!

Het bro, thanks for your help!

This is the 2012 spoiler? I cant tell from the pics but it looks like the standard c63 amg spoiler. Do you have pics of it on your car?

No, it's not the AMG C63 spoiler. It's a Chinese replica, and like I said, it's a duplicate of the 2008-2012 fitted and painted W204 C350 Sport Sedan spoiler.

Pix will follow.... one of these days. If you're looking for the one in the picture at the top of the page, that will set you back $500, unpainted from the dealer only!

I'll see if I can get one in the next day or two. My car's going camping with me this weekend so it will miss it's weekly washing, and it's covered in pollen at the moment

C204 C250-CDI

I've just recently seen this spoiler in the flesh (in undercoat) at my local MB dealership and we even sized it up and placed it onto a C Class sedan for a look and IMHO it looks ok but pales immediately when compared to the C63 spoiler, the C63 unit is alot nicer overall and perfectly proportioned, this new one looks too wide and shapeless by comparison, but it's just my opinion.

I looked at this spoiler because it's also available for the coupe, but after the above comparison I opted for a C63 coupe spoiler instead, which BTW is slightly different again in profile compared with the C63 sedan spoiler.
