AMG factory spoiler

Does AMG make a factory spoiler that's available in Europe? Does anyone have links or a picture if this exists.

Dont Forget

RENNtech has a very well designed rear spoiler. Very classy and understated. I would say it looks like how AMG should have built the car

think t-bone has some pics of it in this forum.

But I thought that the E55 doesn't need a rear spoiler because of the Active Suspension? Doesn't it lower the car at speeds above 70mph, thus not needing a rear spoiler.

There's a picture of the factory spoiler now on the build your own feature on the MBUSA website. It's only on the build your own, "E500" page. It's OK but I like my lorinser style better.

Like most MB's the car still has a fair amount of rear lift at speed. It does lower it self a bit 15mm to be exact but that is not enough to keep the car as stable as some would like.

The RENNtech spoiler does help increase rear downfroce when at speeds over say 100mph. And why not get one...it looks great IMHO.

The look of a W211 with and without a rear decklid spoiler are 2 different cars. The rear decklid spoiler totally makes the car look alot better IMO. But I agree with CynCarvin32.
