R231 SL550 OEM Spoiler Pictures
Does anybody have pictures of their SL with the OEM spoiler added? This is the part I am contemplating:

So the post-facelift R231 has a different spoiler? Now it sounds like I need pics of each, assuming both will fit a 2013 SL550.

When I search US, this is the other item I find (post-facelift):

However, it also doesn't show fitment for 2013. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean it won't fit. The trunk lid part number for both years is the same.

Like the colour!
That is the spoiler I'm talking about.
DO you get much dirt between the spoiler and the body - they are held on with 3M VHB tape and I have been holding back because I'm worried about a gap between the spoiler and the body collecting dirt.
Any chance of a close up ?

There is no gap so I've had no dirt issues. I ordered the factory spoiler from the 2017 SL 63/65 which is the same year as mine from a friend who has a MB parts business. Had a reputable body shop do the install so very happy with the results.

I think I am going to go with the larger pre-facelift spoiler and have the dealership install it. I'm sure I am capable, but I'd just rather not mess with it.

I have decided that unless I go with the full blown AMG SL63/65 front, rear and rocker trim, I am not going to go with a spoiler. I believe, on the standard body, the lines are cleaner without it, but that's just me. I had a spoiler on my 2013, but like the look without better.

Damn I love white. Spoiler is definitely in the eye of the beholder. I like it, but I think the car looks great without it.
I cam from an E63 and told myself I did not want an AMG again. But, I do wish the exhaust was just a tad more aggressive on the SL550. Other than that, I really like the car so far. Oh, and the B&O stereo is worthless.

I have to agree. Less is definitely more. The back end is a little too smooth without a spoiler, and the larger one is just too much. I prefer no spoiler at all to the larger spoiler. That first red car is gorgeous...as is yours, Rory.
