| here are some pics of my car as it was getting the new springs put in.... funnily enough i was too excited afterwards to get any photographs so i will get some up when the springs settle in and it's a dry day. ![]() ![]() oh and the springs are great, makes a massive difference. they are Eibach and dropped the car 25mm. ride quality is still comfortable, but very little bodyroll which is perfect!!

| N4PWJ, I have to say that the SLK is one car that even looks good, airborne and without wheels. You think that there might be a spot for one in the next James Bond movie? It would make a nice counterpoint to the submersible Lotus Esprit in "The Spy Who Loved Me"! Dinoman |

| mud gurds front and rear yes. they are a necesity and i think they look really well on the car with the 'skl' embossed in them. they came fitted but are easily done, just clips that fit into your rear bumper and arch, 10minute job to fit all 4. thanks for all the nice comments guys |
