2009 C63 AMG P30 Differential Cooling Fins
I went for a big service today: oil change, transmission service and flush, radiator flush and rear diff fluid change.
Before I went I purchased the AMG cooling fins for the diff (part #1713510108). I was surprise when my tech told me that the fins don't fit and have nowhere to mount, plus won't cover the exhaust (my car is mechanically stock).
In my VIN build sheet and options, it specifically says both P30 "AMG Performance Package" and also option 471 "Mechanical Locking Differential".
Shouldn't the cooling fins fit my car? I ordered the part from a MB dealer with my VIN, but maybe it only fits the facelifted W204s?

I believe the Euro cars have the diff fin if you got the perf pack. You have to buy the diff cover which has the bolt holes for the fin. This has something to do with ground clearance for NA.

It's a packaging challenge, right? Not like there are a lot of options to hang fins off the diff itself. If it was an active cooler with a pump then they could put it anywhere. Otherwise they're constrained by the diff (can't move that) and the path of the exhaust which is also limited by the space under the car, axle and suspension movement etc.
