All this chit chat and silly banter is not conductive to the purpose of the forum. Desist!

Desist, NOT lol, I stand corrected on it being the holder of drinks :thumbsup:

Widebody... one day, one day..

Hi Kim, go for it man. I think it will look awesome.

Will probably reduce the height by a quarter to make it more or less similar to the AMG on the wide body and may need to pull the footing on sideways on each side to meet the boot lid edge and mimic the more angled look on the AMG.

Do you plan to match the AMG look and feel (i.e. remove both of the current inner footings and replace with center third brake light)?

Let us know how you go.

I´m shure, all the time to build a lookalike would be better invested in doing an profitable job, which buys you an original. It can be that expensive on US JYs...

I like the taller amg spoiler you have in primer best .

The r32 wing may match the 126 trunk curve , but the actual style of the spoiler is too curvy , there are curve shapes on its sides and top, and does not fit the 126 look .

Tusabes that one sanded back is not mine but a random pic. I have been trying to source one of these tall AMG ones for about 2yrs now without luck so they are extremely scarce and hard to come by.


I have got an AMG tall one in same shape designed for a 190E - shorter width and slightly narrower depth but notice being old made spoilers they are "unfortunately heavy"

The R32 GTR one is more modern technology and "nice and light" and these can be easily cut, re-shaped and worked with to make alterations including a middle replica leg perhaps (in fact i even spoke to a local spoiler shop who said they could do the alteration work for me if i did not want to tackle it.
At this point it is just an idea- hence asking for constructive feedback

My options for the black 560 coupe are
No Spoiler for the clean look
The small lip AMG version of which i already have two (i am thinking of using one on the white coupe)
The Zender wing with 4 posts designed for the W126 lid which i have one

I just think an 040 black WB suits the tall spoiler to give it a more aggressive look (just my opinion)

 

[wilyesteve]

This is mine... anybody know what spoiler this is? Is it even Mercedes specific?

 

[KRH]

Steve i haven't seen that version before so possibly a random aftermarket brand which actually looks like its made to fit the W126

In my searches there seems to be a real variety of aftermarket versions that have been bolted on
Here are some randoms i have kept pics of-

 

[KRH]

Here is the AMG 190E specific spoiler i sourced thinking i could cut it up and modify it to fit a W126 but its old technology and is heavy.
Its is made of some type of plastic resign used in the 80's.
It is too short in width and cross section is not as deep as a W126 but the actual shape is identical

 

[KRH]

The spoiler research on various options for the black 560 WB coupe continues-
As i was trying to explain earlier those R32 GTR spoilers are an identical match on the trunk curve and length - just need a bit of moulding/shaping to blend them in more to the lid.

Here are some more pics up against an AMG lip version 1 & 2 and a Zender and a different version of the R32 GTR that sits a bit lower in height (the smaller legs would be cut off) as another guinea pig to see if they are a suitable donor

 

[Danfer21]

i like the smaller one

The smaller black one in the second to last shot. I hate the Zender one.

Digging up an old thread on rear trunk spoilers
Those Chinese made fits all cars deck strips are junk and more for the bling bling boys.
Some plus 2yrs of hunting still no joy finding a tall AMG version rear wing!!
They are so difficult to source!! Any help appreciated

I did find a source in LA who could have them replicated but they would need a minimum of like 15 ordered to make it worthwhile and we all know about the hassles of group orders when you are talking in the $300 range

I have not had the time to do my own cut and shunt mods to the numerous wings I have, but it looks like my only option now and the path I will be heading down unless somebody rescues me!!

 

[281lxm]

i have the small dog ear amg spoiler and i love it.

 

[autologic]

I don't like the wings that curve out like the one in the original post... seems like something straighter would look good on our cars... just my opinion.

 

[Teutone]

Old school

 

[joeSEC]

^^ how it looks on the car
Ive yet to see a spoiler I like better

 

[amgtuned]

Is this an original AMG spoiler, has anyone seen this one before?

 

[Luke Colorado]

I'm pretty sure that's a Zender.
