I went to a Mercedes dealers and their parts guy said, we dont do after market !

I contacted a local specialist and they wanted £295 for a 'lip spolier', which I understand is just a strip of plastic, price is for the part, does not include spraying or fitting !

I want this boot spoiler... http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?i...LK+W208&start=100&ndsp=20&svnum=10&hl=en&sa=N

But I can't seem to find where to get one ?
Just an indication of how much I'm looking at would help.... if its too much, I'll forget it and that'll be the end of it !

Thanks for any help..... JONRW

looks like a Volvo S40 spoiler. not really worth the money. doesn't look great, won't do much for downforce.

as for a lip spoiler, I suspect it's this, which is even worse: http://www.dynocomp.com/images/products/merch/W209 Spoiler.jpg

for comparison, a Nismo carbon fibre lip spoiler for a Skyline goes for around £80...

If you want a spoiler that works: http://www.babez.de/carlsson/clkrs/pic02.jpg?PHPSESSID=6180c0ed3e8dcdccf916b4dc9a77780e

But people will shake coffee beans at you.

Best off spending the money on improving handling or performance.

hm tank of optimax? :D

ECU chips are the cheapest option and seem to be around the £500 mark. Oh you could replace the air filter. Doubt you'd notice the difference, though.

I thought the AMG CLK had a small lip spoiler. MB don't do 'after market' but they do do AMG bits. Don't know ho wmuch though.
As for £150, I can't think of anything. That won't even cover a couple of new tyres. Save your money is the best suggestion I can come up with.
