At last.....My SLK-230 pictures

**SLKCop** · 05-04-2008

I've been asked several times and finally had a chance yesterday to take some pics...so here they are.

The only mods I've made so far are adding the clear side marker lenses. I plan on putting a SL-type grill on within a couple of months.

I installed a Blaupunkt Hamburg CD/MP3/WMA player which has built-in bluetooth for hands-free. It's very nice!

Let me know what ya think..

Thank you for taking the time to post your black beauty, I have to say it shows that it is extremely clean example that has been taken care of well.

**ir-ops** · 05-04-2008

it is a black beauty, so clean.
If I were you, will also consider the chrome roll bar, it will really change the look of the car.

Looks great. Smart move going with a new technology radio. My opinion, less chrome is best. Enjoy!

Car looks great

I understand why you want to "de-whip" the 14-inch-but-looks-like-14-feet OEM antenna.

Thanks for all the responses and compliments, guys!

I've been away since Sunday...some wicked flu bug going around town. I got it, now my wife has it. Not any fun at all!

Get well soon, get something warm it usually does the trick.

**ir-ops** · 05-07-2008

...have had my share this winter, and that included high fever and swallowing of antibiotics for the first time in my life, took me abt four weeks to come back to my regular rhythms...

get well soon!

That's pretty cool...how'd you do that!

Mike

**SLKCop** · 05-08-2008

I set the impression as my avatar ... looks cool, but maybe not enough detail when it's scaled down to the size required. What you think?

Have you thought about DE-badging the car??

It is kinda' small. Let me play with some other options and see. Work will be boring tonight, so I should have time.

I haven't even considered doing that. What would be the purpose/benefits?

The benefit is a cleaner looking car and easy to wash and wax. Also when some punk kid wants to play on the highway he will think twice not knowing what your car is. Overall it looks much better, but that's just my opion.
