Ya, I'm in the same boat. They are still en route to me and I'm away next week so hope to have them
at least to test fitment and overall look the week of Oct 8th. If I like, going to paint then install.

I'm having trouble attaching the image for some reason but I just got them. Fitment is decent so my body shop guy will be able to fit them well. Going to paint this week so should have complete before end of the month.

Just being held up but love the look, I think it makes it a little more aggressive.

Looks decent, though the fitment around this bit looks a little odd.

Arghh of course they are. Well given there are a few scuffs on them as is, I'm ok with a brand new paint job 😉

How are you going to attach them? 3M tape?

Really conflicted on these, so will wait and see what yours looks like finished

ALIEXPRESS just search for w205 carbon vent and try and find the cheapest one.

Prices change all the time I paid 175 for mine and they are about 150 now.

My package is in New York will be delivered Tuesday

Do you think these would effect the sensors in the grille?

So I just got round to fitting a set of canards same as below:



And these definitely cause the front sensors to beep when travelling below 5 mph, I was still debating the look of these and this has made my mind up to throw them in the garage. I do like the look of the inserts in this thread but I hope they don’t cause sensor errors. It looks like the inserts are going to be closer to the sensors than my canards were which would indicate that they are more likely to cause issues however I did notice in the pictures above that there is a slight bevel near where the sensor sits, hope this gives enough clearance. Anyone fitted their set yet to see if there are any issues??
