Default Hi I'm a new R170 owner and new to the community! Here's my ride: Black 230k

Hi everyone, just introducing myself and my ride:

1998 Black SLK 230K
-------------------------
Projector Headlights + Projector Fogs
Facelift Side LED Mirrors
Facelift Tail Lights
Chrome Door Handle Covers
AMG Rear-lip Spoiler
Clear Side Blink Lights
Custom painted stock rockers, front+rear bumper.
Chrome Exhaust Tip.
Next: Bilstein Heavy Duty Shocks & H&R Race Springs, AMG Sport Wheels.

PICTURES:














I love it!!!!

I'm debating to get chrome rollbars next or the suspension setup.

And yeah I'm rolling on a spare I damaged my rim the other day.

Welcome to the forum. Based upon the car (and girlfriend of course!!) you appear to be pretty far from sight less! Enjoy the new car.

Welcome...

I loved my R170. And i can say it is a very safe car. Saved my life when it was totaled.

Good call on the headlights. Do you have HIDs behind the projectors? Hard to tell from the pictures.

I miss the supercharger feel of the R170. And sound of my supercharger purging via a custom bypass flange i had made for it... people were just shocked and though my car was a sleeper
