The fit will not be off. The AMG part numbers are all the same no matter where the region.

If you are happy with aftermarket, here's a supplier.

There is Dynaflex, but you have to know what you are doing.

As for Japan...

There's Yahoo Japan.

I haven't seen a genuine AMG rear spoiler in quite some time.

Here's a rear bumper.

You sound youngish, so no need for this old man to do your searches for you, have at it.

Ahmed,

If that real AMG spoiler had the 3rd brakelight cutout that our year's cars require, I'd own it by now.

Too bad its for the earlier cars.

The whole Sport treatment, front and rear bumper covers plus the side skirts, I'm guessing.
