Adding a C55 CF Diffuser
Just got this from fellow forum member. Temporarily placed it on there to see how it looks. Not the triple fin, BUT she'll do!!! Any thoughts on what to use other than double-sided to get her to stick???

a car.
I used double sided tape, the heavy duty red label from 3M. I used epoxy around the top and sides to seal out water as well.
I guess you could use screws from the inside of the bumper, be careful not to poke through the CF though.

thanks Chris!! I think the fitment is decent and that photo is just "hanging" so its not too bad. I guess I'll try the 3M double-sided and see how that works.

Here is the most thorough thread I've found here regarding diffuser installation:

And finally (If you have a few days to read): https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...er-w203-3.html
As you can see, it can be rather challenging to say the least. This has kept me from installing my 3 fin teo one. In fact, I may sell it and get the two fin Ebay one which is supposed to be a better fit. We'll see...

I'll just drive the C32 in that case!!!
Outside of Joliet there's some straights for some impromptu runs BUT there's signs aplenty at the Autobahn when you leave telling you to leave the racing on the track!!!
