Yo Rich, this is exactly what we've been discussing (but not CF unforunately)!!!!!!

Might even consider one on my next trip to the US.......
Yeah, thnx Mike for the pics, should look good on your ride

Davey...I'm currently reluctant to pull the trigger on the roof spoiler, gotz to think it over more. This unit w/ CF inlays would cost considerably less than the BC full carbon...approx. $350

Dude, let me know if your interested cuz their shop is 15-20 mins. away.

Doc, that looks great. I have a couple of questions (since you met the guy; however I will e-mail them as well):

1) Quality of the part - is the part really good (no wavey-ness, straight, etc; if you didn't know better you would have thought it was the genuine item) or is it good for $150 and 'what more do you expect'?

2) Do they or can they paint in MB OEM colors? I have Royal Indigo and don't want to wind up with a blue or purple part that doesn't match my car (but $250 is a great deal painted).

3) I'm assuming that your's isn't painted. Is it primed for painting?

4) Do they do anything else for a W210? That was the only item for sale on e-bay from them.

5) Black windshield glue? How do you get the spoiler to stay on? Can this glue be removed easily if I decide to take it off later? Are there any clips or anything else?

Thanks. Ohhhh so tempting....

1) It's smooth. All it needs is some prepping. IT'll need some minimal sanding, just to make things perfect. I mean, it's really good! It feels pretty heavy too for fiberglass, which would mean that it's strong and of good quality. It's straight, no funky waviness like on bad replicas.


2) As for the paint, I'm sure it goes to a bodyshop, hence the ability of getting the appropriate color, however, properly color matching it to your paint would be better left to a shop that is able to see the car.

3) Came unpainted. Primed I believe....not sure. It was gray. It'll need just the basic painting process done to it, nothing exhaustive or out of the ordinary.

4) They sell Carlsson stuff. But nothing else for W210's other than clear sidemarkers.

5) The spoiler is solely held on down by the glue. Nothing else. It's not gonna fly away. I hope. LOL

Anyway, for the price, you can't go wrong!

Hmmm, so I can get it off with just a putty knife? Thats cool. By the way, where do you park your car at night?

That's why I asked the expert. It takes someone that gone through it all to know the good from the bad. :p

"a dollar short and a day late" as they say.
I think that everyone who's interested with a W210 has seen this post already. :p

But who knows.... Post the item on E-bay for $300 and see who bites.. You might still find some guys out of the loop. :v
