That spoiler look nice, but tell me about that diffuser. Damn that thing is aggressive. Woof. Black is sooo good.
Let me ask you...When you went to the dealer to order that spoiler, was the sales rep named Pontius Pilate? Was he like, "do you want the JBSpeed spoiler" and you were all like, "no, Brabus, I want Brabus"?

As for install...it comes with a tube of adhesive but no way, I just used automotive 2way tape like the OEM spoiler. That stuff is as good as glue but can get it off if need be.

Ya exactly. Have fun with that oem tape, took forever to get it off. Heat, fishing line, then alot of patience. Worth it in the end though. Share pics of the transformation!

Was it Driving Emotions or Automania? Mind if you share what you paid for it in CAD?

I have a black c43 aswell, just don't know what to do it cosmetically yet to make it pop. I was going to go with carbon diffuser, spoiler, mirror caps, front lip and bumper fins, all carbon fiber. and some square amg tips,

any ideas on how to make a black car look good lol?

I wanted any color but black but it was literally my only option...

and no i dont want to wrap it

Not sure, I love black and I chose that color after years of not having a black car, I decided to deal with the maintenance and do it again!
A few more pics.

The drop with the new springs looks perfect!


Are you using spacers on the stock wheels?

If so what size?

Thanks! Ya, I have 5mm on the front right now and 15mm on the rear. I will be changing that for my summer
setup though to 10 or 15mm front and either keep the 15mm rear or go 20mm. I haven't tested my summers
with the new springs yet but will know soon enough. Decided to get my summers refinished in all gloss black
so looking forward to Spring!!

Kinda hard to make black pop as easily as other colours imo, they're more suited for the stealth look, but carbon fiber bits and maybe some subtle red trim (like calipers) would help.

Thanks, it was worth every penny, I find it changes the look of the car. I've added these since as well for a very aggressive front
end to match my aggressive mode carbon rear diffuser
