I just bought an OEM carbon fiber wing that is used. I paid $200.00 for it so couldn't pass it by, it needs some refinishing. Does anyone have the part number for the two brackets that attach directly underneath the wing and also the part that the GTR uses to mount the wing too? It has a third light built in and on the GTR it's painted the same color as the body. Just want to make sure the OEM carbon fiber wing will be properly spaced and will fit on the stationary base plate. I have a 2016 AMG GTS so it presently has a motorized wing.
Here is the complete part list for the GTR rear spoiler/wing:

There are couple of things you will need to do when you replace the motorized wing with the fixed one:
When disconnecting the motorized wing, you will end up with 2 open drainpipes. You will need to seal these, otherwise water will enter your trunk.

Thank you G.P for the detailed response. It is because of people like you that make this forum the best out there!!!!
Best Regards and many thanks again!

Thank you Paul.
Here are a few additional comments regarding the installation of the fixed wing:
When attaching the Rear Spoiler Attachment Lower Part (600), ensure that the sealing tube is securely fixed into the grooved channel at the bottom of the wing's lower part. See Picture
If you haven't purchased a new part (600), be aware that the seal tube may not be included. Verify that any replacement tube is soft, flexible, and properly affixed to the grooved channel of part 600. The tube should form a complete circle around the entire channel, and the meeting point should be tightly secured to prevent water leaks.
Flex rubber tube to seal the lower part of the wing.
It is crucial to seal the two water drain tubes (one on the left and one on the right side of the liftgate door) that were originally attached to the wing motor assembly to prevent water from leaking into the trunk. See pic below.
However, do not seal the drain input located adjacent to the lower part 600. See pic below.
Ensuring these steps are followed meticulously will help prevent water leaks.
... and one final piece of advice: when removing the 15 nuts securing the wing or attaching them to the new wing, be sure to utilize a magnetic hex key or apply wax to hold the nuts in place during the removal/installation process. Losing one of these nuts can be problematic, as it often ends up in the confined space inside the rear trunk door. Retrieving it becomes nearly impossible, and you'll be reminded of its presence every time you encounter a bump on the road! 😊

Drilling is needed?
Quick question on this very interesting topic.
When installing the GTR rear wing on a GTS is there any need to drill the rear trunk or the holes to install the wing are already present?
thanks a lot!
