SLK55 AMG Carbon Fiber Diffuser Almost Done! Check Out These Prototype Photos!

Addicted2Speed · 08-07-2008

Just wanted to let you guys know that the very first Euroteck carbon diffuser is near completion and is on my car for test fitment. Very soon, carbon fiber rear and front spoilers will also be available. BTW this is the first prototype unit, so the final versions will be even better!

**etyu** · 08-07-2008

Looks really good

**dsb** · 08-07-2008

Looks great! Kinda strange seeing a 55 without the rear deck spoiler.

**kungfudevil** · 08-08-2008

I want one!

BTW how much was it?

Addicted2Speed · 08-08-2008

They haven't released prices yet, but it shouldn't be too expensive. Euroteck's products are usually very reasonably priced, especially given their quality!

**SLK_BLK** · 08-08-2008

Great job, is it an US product?

DansSlk · 08-08-2008

Looks good.

I hope the guy fitting the lip has a good eye, the last thing you want is a wonky spoiler

**-1-** · 08-08-2008

Excellent looking quality. I'm not a fan of the rear diffuser or the carbon fiber look. It will be interesting to see the carbon fiber products on a lighter paint color. I appreciate the effort and all aftermarket products for our SLKs. Can't have too many choices.

**B4TM4N** · 08-12-2008

That is awesome! THANKS for the post! I'd LOVE some info on pricing etc. as well! I'm in Canada. Wish I had some local boyz makin' stuff like that for me.

Addicted2Speed · 08-15-2008

Here are more pics with the new prototype carbon spoiler

DansSlk · 08-15-2008

Cool looks real good.

I guess you probably took the spoiler template from the OEM and its just the angle of the pics but it does look like it's not quite correctly curved at the edges, kinda juts out a little.

Its actually just a made-in-house initial prototype, so its not 100% perfect. The final design should be done in a couple of weeks

**F111F** · 08-28-2008

So do you have any performance information.
How much downforce does it add?
Seems like a good idea for a track car, instead of a big wing.

cyberdrakon · 08-28-2008

diffusor that far off the ground will reduce rear end drag, but will not produce any usable downforce, if anyone tells you otherwise, they are lying.

**smoothbnzf4n4tc** · 08-28-2008

screw all the aero mumbo jumbo. that rear diffuser looks sweet.

Agree 100%

**KTownAMG** · 08-29-2008

I'm hooked! Please send me info when it's ready for "prime time"...

nbarcelo · 08-29-2008

Looks great! Yes, please keep us updated on the final product. I would love to have something like when I get my SLK.

viperdrew · 09-05-2008

Has there been any further development on the diffuser yet ?
