New Body Kit

**Ynot** · 10-06-2006

By mh-dezent, whatcha think? I think it's a bit plain, prefer the AMG kit still. Those wheels are hideous.

Ynot, I think that it makes the car look cross-eyed! It's no match for the AMG package and you're right--the wheels are ugly.

Don't like the wheels but the spoiler is ok. Has it a splitter included?

Anyone else notice that those wheels are alloy with a chrome lip? I didnt realize companies would knowingly make somethign that ugly.

Looks from the pic that the splitter is the same as the AMG kit

Yes, they did, it's called MAE, those were the 80's european styles, other european companies made similiar wheels and still offer them today, that's why I've never been a fan of european style wheels, gives me nightmares to this day.

Looks out of proportion with the lines of the car to me.

And those aren't wheels silly ones, they're decorative wall medallions.

to be honest i quite like the wheels haha, but then my background of cars has come from german euro styling with weird wheels.
here is my last car with Braid billet aluminum custom made rims on my Audi A3:

As for the Slk bodykit....im def not a fan of it!!! simple and smooth is far nicer and maintains the class of the Slk whilst that kit is a bit 'rice racer'
