That looks great! I wonder if it would look better with the diffusor painted a different, perhaps lighter, shade? Try to photoshop the pix and see.

The miidle part is coated with a Ferrari finish graphit metallic, the small parts beside the exhaust are in the color of my car 040 black.

Great idea. Good craftsmanship. However, how many people have quad exhausts without an AMG package? How many SLK200, 280, 350 cars have a quad exhaust?

I would think you'd get a better response from SLK55 or AMG body kit owners.

In Germany you find everything. AMG55 with twin exhaust, 200 with quad. There are about 10% of the 200, 280 and 350 with four pipes. And these 10% are more, than all the 100% of the AMG.



The diffusor is the revenge of the township compared with the rich (joke) Because of the different back, Piecha would need another patten to build it for AMG too.

The price for the diffusor and the quad exhaust is about 1.500,00 euro complete. This would be too low for the AMG drivers also

@ Eddy: this is just matching with a standard SLK, not with an AMG55. I am sorry for you.

@ Mohammed: the cars are from Marcus Piecha himself. I will get my rear diffusor in the next week.

Gero,

I'm on the rear diffuser list right there with you

I am actually happy i didn't get the AMG body kit now!

Can't wait...

And with the extra secret compartment behind the silver mesh on the diffuser, i can finally put some James bond mods!
Oil Spill ? Spike strip? smoke? - haha
