2013 C350 Coupe
Front splitter and rear diffuser.

Hey everyone.

I just picked up a 2013 C350 coupe, and love the car. I'm looking to put on a carbon fiber front splitter and rear diffuser, but I'm a little confused about which ones fit. I see descriptions saying 'only for amg' bumper.

I'd love to buy both as a set if possible. Also, how hard is it to remove the factory trunk spoiler? I'd like to one day put on a carbon fiber larger version as well.

Thanks.

I have done all three to my car and they are not hard to put on. I got mine on ebay but the rear diffuser needed alot of work to get it to fit right. Some screwing in that should not have to happen. Same with the front. Not a perfect fit by any means. Got it to work with additional 3M tape and some self tapping screws underneath. I also removed the OEM AMG type spoiler for a larger CF one and the hardest part is removing the old tape.
Here are before and after pics



Day I bought it 15 C350 Stock





Front Splitter added




Rear diffuser and quad exhaust (I since replaced the muffler to a Masterschaft unit)





NEW CF Spoiler

I also did wheel spacers, tint, now blacked out chrome trim around windows and trunk, aluminum door pins, blacked out side marker etc.
There are quite a few threads on the sedan W204 section as it has a lot more folks. I also happen to have a C300 sedan so that helps. Most everything will interchange between the cars.

Thanks for the pics. I picked up a larger carbon fiber rear spoiler, next up is a front splitter. Is the coupe and sedan front bumper the same?

Thanks.

Here is my link from when I got it but it's just the picture from my ebay account.


When I clicked on the buy similar button I got this page. Keep in mind there are different finishes and different models (pre and post face lift) but I do believe all sport models of the same gen (post lift for example) have the same front bumper. What I mean is coupe or sedan doesn't matter, year and sport vs luxury are the key to fitment. As a matter of fact the car on the pic on the exact item I bought shows it on a sedan.

Oh and I live in Havertown in Delco and work in Philly. Let me know and I would have no issues showing you my car

I'm waiting for the weather to warm up a little before I attempt because it will be easier to remove the factory spoiler, and then the 3m tap will hold better as well.

If I could get a rear diffuser with smaller "fins," I would be sold... Will probably end up buying.... but would prefer one with no or smaller fins.

Thank you for the details!!! I have a 2015 C350 Sport and many of the eBay listing say that you must have the AMG bumpers to fit.... I have no idea if I have "AMG" bumpers.

I got the rear spoiler installed yesterday and love how it looks.

I need to get the front splitter installed, and them decide if I want to do the rear diffuser.

Carbon fiber is addictive. I may do the rear diffuser and the side view mirrors, then call it a day.

I have a 2015 C250 Coupe. Do these modifications also fit that model?

I think the 2015 is the newer body style, so I don't think they fit. But maybe I'm wrong. I'm still a MB newbie.

Yeah it's confusing because the 2015 sedan is the w205 but the coupe is still C204. The coupes went to C205 in 2016. I'm still a MB newbie myself (bought mine in october) and of course my first one has to be one of these ******* children
