I used a mix of tiger seal and 1.0mm 3M VHB tape on my spoiler and it has not moved. Dab of Tiger Seal on each end and a small one in the middle. If applied properly the 3M VHB tape should hold on its own, but better safe than sorry with the TS. Clean the area well with pre paint or Isopropyl...

Mine was one of the Taiwanese Ebay spoilers £57 painted, with a Fed Ex bill to take it to £80. Paint match was perfect as was the fit. http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/bodywork/192580-w204-new-boot-spoiler-fitted.html

The Ebay item Number is 321683995675. Still stuck down and feels solid as a rock. Would certainly recommend adding a few blobs of an adhesive sealer such as "Tiger seal" to ensure it stays there in conjunction with the supplied 3M tape.

Fedex Bill of £23. Still £80 all in is a huge saving on the £400+ for Mercedes dealer fit.

With the roof trim lacquer peeling (See earlier post) I decided to cheer myself up and fit my new Taiwanese boot spoiler. This was bought to replace the universal lip type previously fitted. Ebay and £57, painted and delivered (waiting for Fed Ex's tax bill to arrive). 3M tape and Tiger Seal to...

It appears that I am now subject to the lacquer peeling off the black roof trim strips. This seems to be a fairly widespread problem looking at the web. Has anyone here had similar issues? Being a 2008 model is is out of warranty so I am probably going to have a friendly bodyshop take car of...

After a stupid parking ding last week I have taken the decision to retrofit parking sensors whilst the car is at the bodyshop. I have seen the dolphin DPS400 sensors on the net and they seem to have great reviews and awards and for £50 colour matched a very good price. Does anyone have any...

Unfortunately I had the same problem on my 2008 C Class. Again it was fire opal. Local MB dealership were very understanding, taking photos and referred it to local body shop for a report as well as regional MB bodywork specialist. Sadly it got to Milton Keynes and ground to a halt. MBUK were...

Had these on my Fire Opal Red C-Sport. Quality was very good, as was fitment. Took about 10-15 mins per item. I had them body colour painted and lacquered by a local friendly bodyshop. Fixing is a mix of the original arch and cill liner screws as well as a self adhesive strip where the...

MBStarz - I would follow E270's tips with applying the spoiler whilst "floppy" Yes the pre-bending does help, but the hardest part is aligning the outer edges which need to be very flexible. I would ensure the ends of the spoiler are warmed just prior to sticking it down. If the weather is...

E270 - Thanks for that advice. I will have a look at heating the spoiler if I decide to remove it. In bending the outer ends it will no longer follow the rear edge of the boot lid, but it will look better at the boot to wing gap. Just as a note of caution to any prospective purchasers I...

Well I have also fitted mine. Very happy with the paint finish however the fit is slightly wrong for the shape of the boot lid to wing gaps. To aid fitting I had the spoiler taped out on the dining room table in a pronounced curve to bend the plastic a bit for a couple of days. This helped...

An alternative to tinting is tailored window shades. Installed in minutes and you can take them out any time. I remove the rear one during the winter to make rear vision and parking easier. From a couple of metres away they look like tinted glass. UV Privacy Car Shades Set of 4 Mercedes C...

Looking at the net I believe it will fit. Link to a 2008-12 version. 2008-2012 Mercedes Benz W204 C-Class Sedan Trunk Lip Spoiler (UNPAINTED) | eBay

I have just received my Palladium Silver lip spoiler painted from Taiwan for £27.89. Must say the paint finish is superb as was the service. Had a quick trial loose fit yesterday and it looks good. Needs a bit of bending to follow the boot lid but it should go. Hopefully dry enough this...
