i was on holiday in spain and came across a kleeman 55 S4. fell in love with it there and then.
but on searching their website i can't seem to find any tuning products for an slk 280, only the 55 and 200.
anyone any ideas what there is available for a 280?

I was just going through the Kleemann R171 brochure, and it looks like all their performance packages start with the SLK350. Kleemann 350 supercharger may also fit the 280, you should ask them. As far as ECU tuning, MKB www.mkb-power.de has specific kits for the 280. This kit takes it to 260hp and costs 2,400 euros.

Default carlsson

I don't know about the no mix and match. I went carlsson front lip and UL rims. But I went with Renntech for the power. The supercharger kit from carlsson was just insanely expensive. I MEAN INSANE!

Yeah , the Carlsson s/c is exspensive, I checked its price a year ago, Renntech is good

as for mix and matchnig, i have alwyas mixed and matched my previous cars to a tasteful level. i don't believe in all same stuff as then your more likely to have an identical car somewhere.
