Which rear spoiler for my ride?

Hi All,

I am torn between the brabus style 3 piece rear spoiler and the big rear spoiler that I have seen.

Also, I am not sure if CF would suit my car. Could I please have your opinion on which rear spoiler would suite this car the most.

Thanks in advance! Below are some pictures of my ride.

I've ordered these two for my 2012 w204

Bought them on eBay from Taiwan, so hopefully the quality isn't crap

I would stick to OEM. It has a nice, clean and elegant design. You can get it from your local junk yard or used anywhere. If lucky, it may be already painted.
Best of luck.

I am keen to see how yours go. Do post a few picks when you get them on.

Here are some pictures of spoilers that I think looks pretty good but not sure if it is just the camera angle or they might look funny at a certain angle.

Maybe I am trying to overcompensate but does the OEM spoiler looks very thin? Believe it or not over here in Brisbane Aus you can hardly see a W204 with rear spoiler. Hence, I don't think the wreckers will have them.

The C63 spoiler is too large IMO for a car that is not the c63. There's nothing inbetween the OEM spoiler and the c63 size wise so I and considering just keeping my OEM spoiler.

I have the c63 style diffuser and quad tips so I feel like a larger spoiler may work, but when I see the c63 spoiler on most cars I don't like it.

I would recommend Jbspeed.com for spoilers. That is where I got mine and it color matched perfectly.

I feel that the C63 spoiler is too aggressive for a car that's not. Then again, this is coming from the guy that got a DTM Big Fin Carbon Fiber Diffuser, so take that as you will! :P

Whatever you like man!

I think the both of you are right that the Vorstiener style spoiler is too much for a car without big fin diffusers and quad exhausts. So better stick to OEM or brabus style.

Could anyone with the Brabus style 3 piece spoiler comment on what their opinion is of this type of spoiler for their W204?

I heard from one of the members that after a while it starts to look like there are too much going on with the Brabus spoiler.
