CF Diffuser

Had a bad fitment issue with a ebay CF lip a few years ago for a c63 and eventually went with RW for everything CF related. My cls63 has a well fitted CF lip and spoiler already on the car when I took ownership. Needs a diffuser badly.

Here I am once again debating going with ebay to save about $500 vs RW. Anyone have a good experience with ebay CF diffusers for this platform?

I got mine from JC SPORTLINE jcsportline.com. CF Type R, the fitment is perfect, the quality is great in my opinion. They sell their products on eBay & Amazon. Their products are usually $100-$200 more expensive than others but I am happy with my purchase. Negotiate to get the best price possible. I lost the link from the seller. You can search and make sure it's a JC SPORTLINE's product.

I found the diffuser on their site and amazon but it lists it as compatible with 2011-2014, I have a '16

Anyone know if the bumper changed for the facelift besides the side vents?

I didn't pay attention. So they don't have one for model 15 and up?

I need another one too! I was planning on RW for a better price than the RT one I bought years ago. Mine is a '12 though. Post up some pics when it's done

Confirmed with RW carbon that their renn style diffuser will fit all years 11-18. So I cant see any reason why another company who only lists their style for 11-14 will not be compatible with the face lift years

Don't do it.. you'll end up having to get one back at rw. Ebay ones are pretty much hit or miss. Mostly miss. I bought one the fitment was absolutely garbage. And guess what. Went to RW bought one and perfect fitment

Happy with RW. I managed the whole job by myself and a few clamps. Fitment is great. I'd recommend a right angle drill/screw gun when drilling and driving screws through the tabs. I didn't have one and it made the job much harder when you get towards the center tabs of the diffuser. There just isn't enough room to drill straight down using a standard drill. I had to go at an angle and it was a real ***** to make the diffuser sit straight with the bumper lines

No. The amg logo is visible looking straight down from the top. That's as far as they stick out now. I did not like the oem diffuser and how it made the tips appear to stick out too far imo.
