Bodykit for SLK200K

SLK_Cyprus · 01-15-2008

This is my 1st POST!!!
Hello everybody.
I will order my SLK200K soon. And i am thinking of some issues.
- In the options list, there is the AMG styling package. I would like a picture with an SLK that has the AMG styling kit and one that doesn't, so i can see the differences allround. I am speaking about the totally new facelifted R171 model.
The only issue is that i don't like the new front bumper styling of the facelift, so i hope that if by choosing the AMG styling package, this will change. If not , then i would like some recomendations on bodykits (or front bumpers only).
Is there a company that manufactures a bodykit for the 200K model that has the styling of the 55AMG Black Series , or SLR-style bodykits?
Pictures and websites are welcome

Thanx in advance
Mike

Do a search on threads by Pakko and Wondermike. They have the comparative pix there. AMG styling package is the way to go.

Welcome to the forum, its nice to have you here.

**nevets** · 01-15-2008

Welcome to the forum....if there is an answer...you will usually find it here...

**Ynot** · 01-15-2008

yeah, if you are getting the 200, it must come with the AMG kit. and welcome to the forum.

Thank you all for your good words...
I feel a member of the family already.
I saw the facilifted AMG bodystyling, which is different from the pre-facelifted R171 SLK AMG bodystyling. I agree that it is a must.
But on the other hand i asked if there is a relly nice bodykit that i will like more than the factory optional AMG, so i dont pay extra for it and then remove it for an aftermarket one....
That's why i asked if there's a company that makes Black Series AMG SLK55 - style bodykits or SLR-look bodykits for the 200K.
Thanx.

I have an SLK 200 Komp. with AMG body kit and original 55 AMG front apron with side vents. As far as I know there is no company producing 55 AMG bodykits other than AMG itself. There are fiberglass parts available on ebay but they are not worth it. I say go for original AMG parts. Also please tell us where you live sometimes tax is a great issue when you are getting a new car. Taxes in Turkey are so high that buying the parts afterwards come cheap

Thunder,

Nice pictures.

What is that clip thingee attached to the back wall of the interior?

Thunder · 01-31-2008

That's a 3d sticker badge and it's not on the wind deflector but on the back floor (I also put em on the seats, their are just smaller than the one u were referring to

)
U can buy them on ebay too

Where did you get that windscreen? It looks great!

edit: Just found it on MBUSA's website for accessories, figures the one with the best look and fitment is OEM

Thunder · 02-05-2008

That's the original MB plexiglass 3-parts windscreen, I applyed a grayed/blacked transparent sticky paper on it

**alroumi** · 02-06-2008

Thunder, I like the tints on the windscreen of yours. Does it do much better when it blocks the sunlight sometimes gets you in the rear view mirror?

Thunder · 02-06-2008

yeah sure, it blocks all the sunlight from the back to the mirror

**B4TM4N** · 02-15-2008

Hi! Took me a while to do this so I thought it's best to share it as much as possible.
Maybe this will help??
