.......decklid extension, inverted it and repurposed it as a kamm back......
It does not sound like you were able to do any A v. B testing between your Bonneville racer decklid extension and rear window Kammback.

What were your seat of the pants impressions?

In the past I've discouraged attempting a Kammback on Mercedes sedans because the wind tunnel images show they somehow worked out some good detailing in that area.

The Cd numbers are pretty good considering it is a sedan.

My two cents, I like the function and looks of the decklid extension better.

Regarding a rear spoiler, good for down-force, bad for Cd.

I would not try without first doing the front chin splitter you mentioned.
