roof spoiler on pano-roof?
Was curious to see what you all thought about roof spoilers on panoramic roofs...I have a c350 coupe with pano roof and have been considering ordering a small roof spoiler but am afraid it will break up the beauty of the pano roof. If I were to do it, I would get the spoiler black rather than body color so as to not stand out as much.
So what do you all think? In your opinion, would a small roof spoiler ruin the curvy one-piece look of a pano roof or would it flow nicely? Thanks!

I have one on my '13 C350 coupe with the pano roof and I think it looks great. I've gotten several compliments about how good it looks. (Please excuse the poor quality cell phone photos).

wow guys, thanks for the pictures, very helpful. both of your cars look great.
Antique-Ace: If you don't mind me asking, which roof spoiler did you go with? It looks to be the exact size I am looking for (I don't really prefer the larger roof spoilers)

Mine is the OE roof spoiler:

Part number: A207 793 0188
This one is virtually identical and comes painted for $319.00 (it's a better deal): http://www.formymercedes.com/mb_resu...egory=Spoilers

Thanks a lot for the info, Antique-Ace. I've seen some similar knock-offs that are about half the price of the OE roof spoiler but definitely wary on the quality (most likely China made). Fitment issues also come to mind with those so I think OEM might be the way to go. Thanks again!

The spoiler for $319 I posted above says it is made in the USA. Others on MB forums have used it with no fitment problems. I would give it serious consideration.

Have it on the C350 with the pano roof. Looks pretty good. However, on the C63 Coupe with the Pano roof, I decided to keep it as is. Either way is a win win situation..I'd say just leave it as is and save it for something else.
