700HP Facelift converted PFL C63 S Coupe
Hello everyone - happy new year!
My dad and I just installed the aero front lip spoiler on my 2021 C63 S Coupe. It was pretty easy, with the hardest part being that you need to line up the center piece perfectly and mount that first.
We did not use 3M tape on the entire spoiler per @superswiss recommendation - if you crack the spoiler and need to replace a piece, I can't even imagine how difficult it would be to peel away all the 3m residue. The rear spoiler 3m tape residue was a pain in the butt to remove, it would be that much harder under the bumper. We did use 3m tape on the side pieces on the upper part on the bumper.
I can verify that the FL coupe (my 2021) DOES NOT have indents for the nubs on the two side pieces. We had to Dremel them off. There are no indents at all for any of the screws for the entire spoiler, so we had to line up and drill all of the screws in without any guides or slots. I really thought the FL coupes had the spots for this?! We used blue painters tape to align the center piece them used a sharpie to note where the holes will be drilled. Then we drilled a hole for the black plastic anchors, then screwed in the spoiler (by hand once the anchors were installed)
I purchased the spoiler as the c205 Aerodynamics Kit Front spoiler (not the edition 1) from Mercteil - they were outstanding, once again taking 2 business days to arrive from Latvia to US.
I have attached a few pics for you guys to see. If anyone has any questions on the install, I can help. I took a ton of pictures as well.
