In all honesty Andy that’s the look I was pursuing exactly, a bit ‘Q car’ - all intents and purposes a nice E Class- but don’t mess with it, it will bite !
I was tempted to go the full dechromed, black wheels, tints etc etc but in the end kept the basics but added the spoiler , AMG wheel caps , black bonnet star and left it. With the ceramic it works for me. Remap done now so as much power as I need so.....
Great look and something that I would be happy to own. With the remapping how much power increase have you got. Was this an MSL map?

Wow, so basically you've got a missile. Does it still run as good as ever? Makes my C350 seem like an entry level MB lol.

Actually better - much smoother day to day with less surging than I had before in stock form. Bury the throttle in S+ and you get giddy, timed 0-60 is now 3.5 ish , you’ll get to 100 quicker than most cars get to 60 for sure- silly stuff

I bought some 3M VHB tape from Amazon 19mm wide- your spoiler will likely be supplied with 10mm wide which I wasn’t sure about . Also cleaned the sticking area with IPA first then applied some 3M primer.
Masked up the measurement left and right to centre the spoiler, pulled off the backing tape and applied firmly before allowing to set....
Simples really

Ok straight forward enough. Will the spoiler sit naturally to the profile of the boot? The seller did advise that glue would be required.

The one I bought fitted totally naturally- even sitting it on the boot there were no gaps , it just sat snugly on
I’ve fitted 2 if these now in the same way with the VHB etc and perfect results - not sure on using a ‘liquid ‘ adhesive to be honest
Are yours from Ikon or....?

Looks ok, you realise it’s unpainted right?

I will double check this and ask that they confirm the price as painted.

Couple of nice extras on that - rear view camera - active lane assist....
Seems cheapish and a lot of car for the money and low miles for the year
