Novaz_nz, AMG Hammer,the performance tuner for Mercedes ran a spoiler combo as you have on your car.And as MetroMPG has mentioned,if you get your angles and curves correct,should show up favorably at the fuel pump.------------------------------ If you can locate" Metro's Permanent Kammback" thread,here at the aerodynamics forum,there is a "template"there that you could use to define the shape of your spoilers with a high degree of confidence for success.It's kind of a go-no-go for attached airflow.
