2012 c250 amg rear spoiler

[The hen]

Hello people,

I just left a deposit on my first Mercedes today, it's red and I want to get a black amg rear spoiler for it. I see a lot on eBay varying on price so just wondering would anyone here have bought one previous and send me in the right direction as where to buy one .

Cheers in advance

Something like this?

Type "W204 black boot lid spoiler" in Google and see what gives. Is your car a saloon or coupe? (I would add that to my search, as not sure boot isn't a different profile).

Cheers rotorhead500 , it's a saloon. Looks good value as painted and all.

No worries. You could always go for carbon fibre effect... ;-)

It is indeed !

I like this front bumper but I presume it's just the centre section painted black of normal sport bumper ???

looks like it. and on that colour, i cant say i like it, personally. it might look better on different colours than others, but for me, it looks wrong on the red.

id say its a bit strong on the price too, for the age and mileage. IMO at least. id say nearer £11k than £13k

I was going to look at it yesterday but had a car lined up to see first and bought that so never viewed it in the end, the price on that car was 14k only a week ago. I ended up buying a late 2012 red c250 cdi sport manual with 67000 miles for 13k instead,. hopefully collecting it midweek. can anyone tell me what exactly is the eco mode, when turned off is the car any faster as I read somewhere before it was but also seen its just a button to allow stop/start function when driving ???

does this article clear up my question lol.

The Eco button on my eu5 e350cdi is for switching the start/stop off, default being 'on' at start-up. The start/stop will only function if the battery is up to a certain level of charge, the engine is up to temperature and the car hasn't got too many consumables turned on, in other words it's virtually useless for short trips and a complete pain in queueing start/stop traffic.

It was a introduced to help meet eu5 regs along with DPFs, eu6 being the introduction of BlueTEC (Mercedes parlance) additive urea to reduce Nox emissions by 50%

does out of eco mode allow more power as the link above says ???



" Then, as I was plodding along with various farm vehicles, HGVs and fork lift trucks stuck in a traffic jam behind me, I noticed the Sport button and pressed it.

Within 5 seconds I had pulled away from the traffic jam and actually started to enjoy the car. The difference between Eco and Sport is night and day. Sport turns the C 250 CDI into a brilliant driving machine. I soon appreciated the chassis's stiffness and the fact the wheels are sprung by the best engineers in the business. And the steering - light at low speeds, slightly weightier on the move - is meaty and fine.



On a track understeer could be induced by braking late into a corner but on the road the handling is neutral. The car feels fluid and a delight to throw around. The engine has a wide spread of torque and power (although Eco seems to hold it before the turbochargers come into play) and the automatic gearbox is a great unit which changes when you want it to, and when you expect to need it to change up.

In Sport mode the C 250 CDI has 204bhp, which propels it to 60mph in 7 seconds. This is plenty of power. It'll never get you into trouble but is enough to have let you have a great time in the car. In Eco mode it feels like it has 20bhp and would struggle to outpace a 2CV.

The Normal mode isn't a hybrid of Eco and Sport. It feels much more like 80% of Sport. If I owned this car I would drive it with Normal mode engaged most of the time, with Sport for a bit of fun. And the Eco button removed. "
