To spoiler or not to spoiler?
Hey everyone! Im happy to say that im finishing up my car! meaning im finishing all the mods that i always wanted to do. One of my goals in doing all my mods to my car was to make it look more modern than it is, make it look newer, and sportier. And i think i have done just that. However, i have always wanted a spoiler on my car (Not the gay big spoilers) but just a small roof and or trunk lip spoiler. I think it would look good on my car, but not quite sure because of my car's color. What do you guys think?
Im trying to get these kind of spoilers (same shape) and they would be painted to the color of my cars body. (not carbon fiber)
God damn i wish my car was black

I purchased this Lorinser spoiler for my black car, and I'm not yet convinced if I wanna use it. This will give you an idea of what it looks like on a silver car. What do you guys think?

The rear of a W210 especially the pre-facelift car is not the most photogenic part of the car....The spoiler doesn't look bad but I think the newer tail lights would be a better upgrade.

I'll agree with a couple of the others. Your car looks very nice as is and I don't think a spoiler would improve anything. The rear tail light upgrade is worth considering.

Here's a website that has the spoilers you are looking for. Man the cars they have these on are pretty hideous!

hey thats my car in the OP's pic 
imho, the lip spoilers would look good if you lowered your car abit as well as painting the bottom sideskirts or getting the sport pkg stuff. that being said, i took off my roof spoiler months ago, it was abit much for me. but one of the highest impacting things i did to the car to "modernize" it was the projector headlights, which you already did. as stated before, update your taillights and all will be good

I have the BMW style lip spoiler as is on the black car in the first post. It's very conservative IMO and does make the rear of the car look better than stock.
I don't like the roof spoiler at all on a 210. Looks gaudy to me.
The lip spoiler, Lorinser RS4 wheels, and lowered about 1.5 inches is what I have and I get compliments on how the car looks all the time.
