Bodykit or not?

N4PWJ · 03-26-2007

ok coming into summer time and i have just bought a new spoiler and green filters, so im in the mood for modifying the slk.
should i put a splitter on or not?
my preffered options at the minute are:-
ART front splitter and side skirts.
AMG - front and skirts and rear
55AMG- front bumper with kleeman splitter adn AMG skirts.

now, i have to say favouring the ART stuff.
so my question is should i go for it or not?

Right Peter, as a member of this forum you are infected. There is no way out. You´ve fixed your decission I believe, but you need the last kick. Here it comes: Do it! Build your personal SLK

I hope you send some pics

hahaha thanks Gero.
I have kinda made my decision, but i always said no modifying this time round!!! but the bug is catching em again, and i see all your lovely modified examples it is getting harder to resist the option!!!!

AMG front bumper is soo good on the SLK, kleeman splitter on that makes it even better. just let me know when u can find someone to sell u a kleeman splitter. kleeman themselves were useless

Go for the ART for several reasons:
No one has them on their SLK over on the 3 SLKforums, plus they are quiet rare and look good on non sport package equipped SLK.

i hear that. I was the same way with no desire to mod my car, as i did previous ones. UNTIL i joined this forum and my jaw dropped.

My 2 cents: DOOOOO IT ALLL if you like it DO IT. We are all behind you and if we really like it we will copy your moves. Hee Hee Love those who try then share, keeps me from wastin money. I got a garage full of things I thought I wanted til I got it and found I did't like it. Post those pictures, save me money.

Baron7700 · 03-26-2007

you should definatly do it. Ull be very happy when driving and peoples eyes just follow your car.

DansSlk · 03-26-2007

Sounds good but could i recommend using the SLK Sport pack bumper instead of the 55 one when i see the vents on a different model it just shouts pretender to me.

Both bumpers are very similar to each other the one just missing the vents and being more rounded but of course thats just a personal thing the rest sounds fine to me i think the 55 side skirts should be standard on them all.

Your wish is my command,

ART body kit:

AMG body kit with Kleemann front spoiler:

I agree with alroumi, if you get ART, you'll be the first on all the mb forums. It looks classy and very unique,

and of course my car, with the AMG package w/o the vents. it's alot more rounder, which I prefer, not as square as the SLK55.

N4PWJ · 03-27-2007

Thanks Ynot for posting the pics up, your like an slk photo archive!

im also leaning towards the ART front and skirts. don't like the back, but then im happy with rear of my car anyway with the exhaust and spoiler should look good. I like the ART due to the individualness of it, as stated by most.
The second car with the Brabus wheels is what made me want the Kleeman kit, but as said it has been done.
The AMG sport pack ,ala YNot is beautiful, but YNot has it and any slk i see with reminds me of his car, so i want individuality.

I'll keep you all posted, should be next few weeks i purchase.

Any other options please share, brabus was another option but too expensive.

**alroumi** · 03-27-2007

Ynot your wheels are truly are a peice of art.

yeah, I'm a visual person, have to have pics.

The AMG sport pkg can get a little boring, since it's a factory option, it's rare around here so I like it.

Anyway, mods are about personality and individuality, most importantly, it's about what makes you happy. I sure whatever you get it's going to be nice and different.
