Spoiler alert! Look what i got.

[SmartAmg]

Got me carbon fibre boot spoiler for me w207 .
Very pleased with it, seems very good quality. Pics when fitted.

At least it looks good on the oven buddy

Get a professional to fit it if you are responsible for the tiling!!

Aww, my poor tiles.

Dead easy to fit - 19mm wide VHB tape, some IPA and some 3M adhesive accelerator wipes and off you go ( of course masking the position it will take before offering up and removing the film from the VHB tape)
Seriously looks lush- that’s a sympathetic upgrade there....

John - does the 3M primer or edge sealer do any permanent damage to the paint? I'm keen to wrap my side mirrors in black and all the good sites recommend using the (3M 94) primer / sealer for best results.

I’d be careful with the IPA, too much Brew Dog IPA and you’ll be fitting the spoiler upside down on the bonnet...

eBay, was £109.00 but got it when eBay was offering 15% off so £93.00

At that price is it proper CF or CF look?

Carbon fibre look at that price I would have thought,
but does look really excellent quality . Dark carbon fibre look and glossy which is what I wanted .

Let us all know how much faster the car goes with the spoiler attached

 

[SmartAmg]

19mm 3m VHB tape,
Isopropyl alcohol,
3m adhesive accelerator,
Ordered.

Not that I experienced Rory- I used it on the E63 and the SL500 whilst fitting the boot lip spoilers and in the 3 years total over those cars I didn’t see any paint degradation. What I used was the 3M 4298 5 pack Adhesion promoter sponge pack - £11.98 from Amazon.....I might still have some in the depths of my garage somewhere as I used one only per spoiler

A quick test fit today after I'd cleaned the car,
what ya think.

I think it looks good buddy (not as good as the oven did though )

 

[Blobcat]

Looks good, you could get it wrapped in chrome then it would be great
