I like the boot spoiler , if it’s similar to the cheap eBay one I fitted to my old car , make sure you leave it on a radiator until it goes floppy so you can manipulate it into the correct shape, otherwise fit will be poor. *Edit I thought your car was a pre-facelift , so ignore my thoughts on the grille.

My car is facelift w204 saloon Which one do you recommend? Out of the gloss or matt which would look better? Or any other suggestions? Re the spoiler its abs plastic, didnt realise you need to manipulate it in this way, was expecting just to align it up and secure

Hopefully someone will come along with a recommendation.

Is that on the actual spoiler? Did you purchase it from the same seller?

That's actually on the boot right? It's not very close to the spoiler, do you think fitting the spoiler caused that?

No its on the spoiler. There's no problem with the original boot.

Does it really matter, as long as it looks good.
