Default Satined roll bars

Vaeth is offering a new sort of roll bars which fit to the color of the steel in the cockpit. I like it

very nice. however for my car i would prefer the polished set, as it matches in with the star and aero-fins.
I think this would look best on a 55AMG.
Gero you always find top modifications. I would love all the mods available to be available in one page to view. almost like an slk shopping centre.

I also prefer the polished (chrome) ones, but then again you cannot fit the OEM windblocker.
That's a big drawback for me.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that's the case.
In some of them though, there are those "nipples" at the outward sides that allow you to fit the standard mesh (cloth) windbloker.

I think those looks great on a silver car, the only problem I have is, they are so difficult to install, I don't trust anyone here to do it, and looks extremely difficult to do it myself. 500 Euros are a pair I assume, that's not a bad price.

how do you go about taking the old ones out anyway?

I would take those satin ones and paint them a glossy black, that would look good IMO.

B55 has it done. I remember someone saying how difficult it is to install these, as there aer somethnig ridiculous like 3billion screws to work with.
My MB dealer installs the Brabus ones, so I have considered them before.
Satin Black would look great John, matching your stain black aerowings. I think you should get your MB emblem done aswell. your car would make the batmobile quake in its boots.

Here's the pdf file if you want it. http://www.4shared.com/file/14433859...over_bars.html, might do it if I get too bored in the winter time, but not an easy installation.
