Spoilers and commando bumpers are always a hard no in my book.

No spoiler on four door sedans, even performance sedans (see BMW, MB, Audi).

I like spoilers, but I feel like the look clashes with the commando bumpers. Worst case, try and mount the spoiler in a removable manner and you can have both!

Spoiler looks great, matches all the black trim.

This is a good reference for my 244. Same colour as yours too.
I think it looks good with the big bumpers. If you don’t like it after awhile you could just change the rear. Last edited by BeaverMeat; 10-17-2020 at 04:03 PM.. |

IMO, it detracts from the looks of an otherwise, very nice looking 240. Not only that, it serves absolutely no purpose, other than adding weight to the car. If it make you happy, by all means install it.

That does look like a nice spoiler. Plus the look of the car is updated a bit with those Galaxy wheels on there. Those wheels need the updated look of the spoiler. lol. Car looks great either way....

I think the spoiler would look good if it is painted the same body color. Better that it blends in, not stand out.
