Carbon fibre parts

[AngryDog]

Thinking about buying these for my E55, anyone used them before?

Carbon Fibre Rear Bumper Diffuser Quad for Mercedes W211 E-CLASS Saloon E55 AMG | eBay

Carbon Process Trunk Spoiler for Mercedes W211 A Type E320 E350

A Carbon Fiber Roof Spoiler Mercedes-Benz W211 L Type Sedan 2002-2008 | eBay

Thoughts?

Thoughts - expensive jewellery that does nothing to improve performance or handling.

Thanks, useful input.

I personally don't think the roof spoiler will suit it.. but its your car!

Have you thought about dipping the OEM lip spoiler?

The diffuser looks good, but seems too cheap for genuine Carbon tbh

 

[AngryDog]

I think the issue with dipping the spoiler is that by the time it is painted and prepped it will cost similar to a cf spoiler.

The other issue is that dipped weaves never look proper.

Have a look through the feedback for the seller - for the same items.

I saw some aftermarket grilles a few weeks back (different seller) and I was a
bit dubious. All the feedback comments were good, so went ahead and bought.
I'm really pleased with them.

I'm of the same mind as above with the roof spoiler, not my taste but its your car

Re the diffuser, be aware the fitment on some of the Taiwanese/Chinese parts sometimes isn't what it should be.
Can't remember now who it was, but a member bought a Taiwanese diffuser and the fit was so bad he didn't install it. It really is pot luck.

The boot lip looks good.
No front lip?

It was me Roger, I bought a rear diffuser and front lip and the bodyshop wouldn't even attempt to try fit them, they were that bad, be careful Mr Dog..!
P.s not a roof spoiler fan either...!

Thanks guys. Roof spoiler is out.

Any recommendations for a difusser? I may go front lip but I am also thinking E63 front end.

 

[Dogbreath]

I wanted a 4 fin diffuser so went with a Euroteck version
It fits a lot more flush than others as the original diffuser is taken off. It's fkin expensive tho for what it is but.....
i think Gary Lo on mbworld in the states does full e63 front ends and front lips that fit nice with no messing about

You have to laugh at CKS charging almost £500 for a 3 fin one that looks the same as the Chinese jobs for a quarter of the price.

I wouldn't touch CKS with a barge pole personally

Nor would I. Customer service leaves something to be desired I believe, apart from the silly mark up prices.
