I'm sure someone will post pics when they get the opportunity. To be honest, I think it will look good on your car. After all, I believe the diffuser on the C63 is just for show (it is on the SL63) in which case it belongs on your car as much as it does the AMG.

One question, when you say you have CL65 wheels do you mean CL55 wheels? The 65 carries 19s on the W215 and 20s on the W216.

Huh? That comment makes no sense at all given he wants to put a C class diffuser on another C class.

I think his comment is that a diffuser is a aerodynamic modification that's only needed generally on high performance vehicles and is similar to putting a huge wing on a car that doesn't need any help with decreasing lift.

I also think it would look good...but I guess some people get squirelly when performance mods are used just for aesthetic purposes.

It's for looks on a C63 just as would be on a C350. In this case hp doesn't matter. For example, a spoiler helps with downforce if you reach 150 mph in a car with 450 hp or 250 hp.

c63 diffuser

The rear "diffuser" is somewhat functional on the C63, but it is not constructed as one piece like a "real" one. The rear underbody is relatively flat and has grooves in it, presumably to channel air. However, the 3 fins as seen from the the back are just an extension of the bumper and are a separate piece. It does attach to the underbody, but there is a lip that hangs over, which probably causes turbulence and may trap air rather than channeling it out from under the car. This may be an easy fix, but I haven't taken delivery of my own C63 yet, so I can't tell. Here is a picture I took at a dealership last month:

Couldn't have summed it up better!

That would make a real sleeper at the lights. Keep us updated if you decide to go that route.

Well, I did hear that adding the rear diffuser will add 50 mental hp to any car.
