Carlsson Spoiler

slktyperice · 04-13-2007

On my car:

Probably too much for conservative folks, and just subtle enough without being outrageous for more adventurous folks. Less boring than AMG for me.

Looks good now you need a sporty rear bumper and some matching sideskirts.

I'm with alroumi with this one, it's a greating looking spoiler but does not match the the OEM bumper and sideskirts, looks way too aggressive for OEM kit, I'm sure you'll get the kit to match in the future, Carlsson rear bumper and side skirts looks great on Wallace's car.

edit, I was going to attach Wallace's car but I guess it isn't working right now.

Thank you for agreing with me Ynot, sine his SLK is white the Rear Spoiler shows even more and what it needs are the things you suggested.

**dsb** · 04-14-2007

Looks great. Next, get your windows tinted.

**alroumi** · 04-14-2007

as DSB said needs tints, I suggest some light charcol looking tints. Nothing to dark but amber with the interior of yours.

trying taking the pictures from a different angle...lower and farther away from the car, the lens is distorting the image and making the butt look bigger than it is. Anyway, i like it!

Would be interesting to see that spoiler on a stock 55 in 040 black. Might change the perspective.

Yes, It would look better if the picture was taken in a large parking lot at night for example, know one there and take time in taking photographs.

looks nice. But i am with the rest here, i think you need a kit to set it off properly. The Carlsson skirts and splitters front and rear would look very nice.
I would even get the copt of the black series bumper, as the black CF would look excellent against the white. ALso try for a rear Carbon extension.

Yeah that's what the body shop guy told me too. I'm looking at more aggressive aftermarket parts. Too bad most of them are fiberglass. Who in their right mind would pay $1200 for a fiberglass bumper that will crack at the hit of a shopping cart?

I'm probably going to start with the Piecha rear diffuser (the F430 look one). It looks beautiful. Waiting for it to be publicly available. Sideskirts, I'd take the Expression-R ones, but I have no idea how to order them.

I think the rear diffusor is available now. Gero 'OWL-SLK' has it on his SLK and he is a friend of Piecha. I know Lenny 'noregret4life' sells Piecha products in the US so approach either of them. Get the Piecha front splitter whilst your at it. Not sure where to buy expression skirts.

**alroumi** · 04-17-2007

Go with peicha they look better than the Expression kits which obviously look tacky!

**SLKman** · 04-17-2007

I like it alot better than the little bump on the trunk called a lip.

I agree with the other guys here...upgrade the rest of the car to match.

Looks Cool.

Where did ya get it and how much?
