At last it has arrived...

And alas tis a fiberglass replica, but an excellent fit and finish unit.

So the Hay-Hem-Gee rear spoiler will go great with my Fald-Ex front spoiler.

I know I'm violating the rules of Chris D Pham about brand name only or else you're a poser....

Maybe if I go fast enough nobody will notice ?

Contacted the seller and ask him to rebate my freight for a deceptive description...especially since the part bears the Merc Star and HWA part numbers...

Probably would have bought it if I knew it was a replica...
As the old song said...."It'll have to do until the real thing comes along..."

Sounds good! Any plans to bolster the fibreglass with resin or something else to ensure it doesnt get damaged? Also, I'm excited to see pictures! Have you decied what you are going to do with it paint-wise?

 

Yeah, if the listing didn't say it was a replica, and if it has MB part numbers and logos on it, it's not just a replica... it's a counterfiet. I think it's totally fair for you to demand a partial refund for that. You should write this into your feedback on ebay for the guy so that other buyers know!

 

Very heavy gauge fiberglass.....no need to reinforce.
Great fit should take paint well...of course Signal Red !!!!

 

This was the listing...
Still a nice piece, and have no problem with a replica.
I'll give the seller a chance to respond as I'm asking for the $99.00 shipping to be returned..I think that's fair...



"Rare Mercedes Benz w124 Coupe AMG Style Rear Trunk lid Spoiler 3 piece

Fit for all Coupe model only: 220CE 230CE 300CE 320CE

Not suitable for the 4 door Sedan

Brand New old stock

Rare to find it ! "

 

He used the magical un-assuming disclaimer of AMG "STYLE" that with the lack of the word Genuine, authentic or original will probably hold up. It's a bummer but unless you can prove he purposefully mislead you he probably won't have to take any action on your request.

 

Using the phrase "Brand new old stock", implies as NOS always does a genuine part.

The part has the Merc Star logo along with the correct "HWA" prefix AMG part numbers imbossed on the back of each piece.
Indicative that an original part was used for a mold.

Use of any corporate registered logo is trademark infringement and fraud....

 

Seller refunded the $99.00 shipping from Hong Kong.
It's not a bad piece.....I'll need to fit it and paint it.

Center Star...yes as AMG or no ?

 

Congrats on the partial refund.

You talking about the grille star?

 

Anyways, nice find - when are you going to install it?

 

Yeah! Pix asap. really gonna help set off the car.

Speaking of ducktails. Cant wait to see yours either chris!

 

Should be installed today after work or tomorrow afternoon before we roll in our cars for Hot Import Nights this weekend.

There was a delay since one of the corners somehow was broken off so we had to fix it... It looks good though!

 

LOL surprising that it's from HK. I'm almost certain we don't make anything like that in HK LOL. Probably someone bought it from Taiwan or something I guess..

Happy to hear it fits great though.!

 

NO on the AMG emblem since it's all replica on your car AND it's a wald front..

Just the centre star and it'll look BAAAAADAASSSSSS!!!

 

So who doesn't have a spoiler now???

 

AMG is just recessed into the spoiler...had no intentions of doing anything with that.

Center Star only is what I was going to do, so now that I got approval from the "cappo di tutto W124" I'll proceed...

Deciding if I want to paint it myself which means i'll have to wait for a bit warmer weather...

 

Do you guys think I should add the ///AMG Badge on the spoiler that it came with?

 

Why not ....

No different then if the kit was installed when the car was new by AMG.
AMG offered body kit installs without having to get the full or partial performance package.

Did you install the Star?...a little bit of chrome bling on a car like yours will make it stand out more...

It's real and it's AMG....unlike my repro WAMG install !!!
