Well, a long time ago, a thread was started to gauge interest in a group buy for the W215 CL55/65 carbon fiber diffuser. We were taking deposits to start to make them due to customers requesting it. But the first time it fell threw, and we did not ever go ahead with it. Recently, the interested picked up again, and a lower price then the first time seemed to attract more attention. So currently we are working on making a limited edition carbon fiber diffuser for the CL55/65 that we will not sell to anyone else but the people in the group buy for minimum 2 years. At 15 participants each diffuser will be $750 + shipping. The style will be similar to our C63 and E63 diffuser, but the CL diffuser will only have 3 fins. This thread was started only because the other thread is to long and to much of a mess to look through.

We had 15 people interested, and currently 6 people have paid deposits, which means we will need 9 more orders to make this happen.

Here is a link to checkout threw to order.

Here are pictures of other diffusers we made to give you an idea of the style it will be.

It would probably increase interest if you had a Actual picture for a CL55 or CL65 !

You clearly did not read the post did you? If you did you would understand that we said if we made a diffuser it would look similar to the ones posted above. How can we post a picture of one on a CL if we have not made one and that is the purpose of this thread?

I read the post perfectly ! Me, along with probably quite a few people here I am sure, would like to see what they are purchasing ! Why not make one and show it on a Actual CL55 so we can see actually what it would look like ! I am from Missouri " SHOW ME ! " If you are planning on making enough for a group, why not one for your potential buyers ?
I don't think responding to me like I am a idiot is a very positive way of selling your product.

So is the small body colored strip below the OEM diffuser getting cut out of the bumper in order to fit this? I'm sorry if I am not being clear enough, I'm not sure how else to call it.....

BlackC230Coupe

Nothing is being cut on the stock bumper, the black plastic part you speak of which is on my double sided tape gets removed, and ours will fit over that area.

You are still failing to understand the point of this thread, I suggest you read think entire thread below from start to finish so you can be caught up to speed.

You may have read the post but obviously did not understand it.

To simplify what is happening.

1. The diffuser will be a 3 fin design as on the C63 that Neal posted at the commencement of this thread and will look quite similar on a CL as it does on the C63.

2. There is no pic to show of a CL as the diffuser will ONLY be made if enough orders are placed.

3. If someone can photoshop the diffuser off the C63 onto a CL that will be the only way that you will be able to see how it will look on a CL.

4. The diffuser cost will be $750 plus shipping if there are 15 orders.

5. If there are 10 orders the cost will be $900 plus shipping.

6. The production run will be limited to the first 10 or 15 for a period of 2 years.

Neal, as it presently stands there are 6 confirmed orders. Why not PM the 6 of us with a price for just a run of 6 and make it an exclusive run for 5 years. I have an estimate of what the price might be and am in if the price is what I am expecting.

BlackC230Coupe

Thank you! Let me crunch some numbers, and I will email the 6 of you the lowest we can go to start now.

no **** screw these posers!!! I wanted mine last month where the hell is it?? HAHA just kidding... no really where the hell is it?

As far as payment goes on your company website it states that absolutely no refunds. This is probably a dumb question but you will charge the credit card when the start date arrives...for 775 which includes shipping? If the buy amount changes due to lack of interest will you make contact with the confirmed buyers and let them know what the new charge will be prior to submitting the transaction? I was part of the original group buy but got scared off when we started to approach 1000 but 775 shipped is a very fair price. What will be the cap for this piece? At what price is it too much to proceed for you?

AMG055

For 15 orders, price is $750 plus shipping of $25 making a total of $775

For 10 orders, price is $900 plus shipping of $25 making a total of $925.

Once final number of orders is known, Neal will confirm price and we will then confirm to him to proceed by making payment in full.

There are 6 of us who have shown our bona fides in proceeding by providing our payment details. So we need another 4 to make 10 and proceed at a final price of $925 shipped.

To those that want this, its time to either proceed or let this project die like it did when it was previously started last year.

For those that may be on the fence would it help if Neal made this an exclusive run for 5 years instead of the original 2.

BlackC230Coupe

Of course we would contact the people if the price changed. But as it says in the link if you click on it. YOU WILL ONLY be charged if 15 people place orders, as of the now, the 6 people who checkout via the link did not get charged a dime, nor will be they unless a total of 15 is reached. If things changed, and we made other arangements, everyone would most definitely be contacted first!

BlackC230Coupe

Right, and honesty, after this one dies, I will not be trying for it again.

Also, I decided that we will NOT be producing these EVER after this group buy. So this would help preserve value, and have resale value hold somewhat strong should anyone decide to sell their part, as each part would be labeled and serial numbered with a certificate of authenticity.

AMG055

To those that are concerned about providing their credit card details. I will confirm that I have placed my order and provided my credit card details. I have not been charged.

Eventhough I have not met Neal I have corresponded with him and ordered my front lip spoiler from him about 18 months ago. Perfect gentleman to deal with, promplty answered all my questions and kept me appraised of delivery. I am some 20,000 miles (or thereabouts) away from him. My lip spoiler is of excellent quality and cannot now imagine my car without it. Everyone who sees it compliments how good it looks.

Time for those who want this and have not yet come forward to either **** in the pot or get out.

kenpho10

hey guys, i'm willing to order 2 if we get close to the 15 order. lets get this done. i guess most cl55/65 owners are broke just like me.

BlackC230Coupe

Group buy has been closed due to lack of orders, and an email has been sent out to those who showed us interest with placing orders. And to those people who did, we thank you for your trust.

N.cali CL55club

Let me know what you guys think, is this close enough Neil?

BlackC230Coupe

Hey Pete, not a bad photoshop! yes, that looks good, and definitely is along the lines of what it will be like. Maybe just not as tall, since the CL does not have as much height to work with. But very close! Will have something fairly soon.

danlnyc

I will be the first to cop this diffuser if it is ever made

BlackC230Coupe

Well, its already being made technically as I type. There should be 2 or 3 from members you can purchase one from now.

danlnyc

Thank you, I have recieved a PM regarding this same information. I do want to see some pictures before I ultimately decide to purchase

Kadeuces

I want one. Put me down. No need for pics. I'm in Neal. Where do I send the deposit?

BlackC230Coupe

This technically already happened. Check the other thread about it. I think there may only be 1 left now to purchase.
