Rear Spoiler in Canada?
I live in Canada and it is not possible to order the rear spoiler for the new E class. In the states, it is a $300 option. Do you think it is possible for the dealer to install the rear spoiler? I don't want to install those OEM spoiler on Ebay because I have seen other people cars that have rust around the spoiler due to improper installation.

You can order the spoiler from the parts department and have it painted/installed by a local body shop.
It is an adhesive tape install (no holes), thus rust should not be an issue.

lol what do u think they drill a hole in the e63 when they attach the spoiler? they always use 3m tape, its strong, durable and if u ever need to remove it then it will leave no messy residue

The 2011 Mercedes-Benz price list catalogue lists the rear spoiler as an accessory that costs $580 unpainted - this is a Canadian catalogue, so it should be available here. The extra $420 that your dealer wants may be due to painting and installation.

You must clean the adhesion surface on the trunk entirely; use some alcohol wipes. Let that dry before applying the spoiler with 3M automotive tape. The spoiler won't be going anywhere after that I guarantee. Also, you want to do this when the weather is relatively warm ... or in your temp controlled garages...

I discovered that the spoiler is different from the E63's. The E63's spoiler looks much more agressive and sportier. Do you guys know where I can get the cheapest E63 spoiler for W212? I need this shipped to Canada. Thanks.

I got mine from Gnarly Car Parts (I think that's the name). E63 spoiler is way nicer than the OEM 212 optional spoiler, and I was happy to see that Gnarly's is a replica of the E63 one.

Tape
I already ordered one for my W212 from one of the sponsers on this forum.... JBSpeed.
I purchased one from JBSpeed for my W211 and the fitment/paint was good enough. Came painted w/ the 3M tape so was pretty effortless and hella cheap for just around $200.00.
