Hello everyone, I thought I would introduce myself, and my car.
My name is Ads and I am in the UK. I bought a silver 1997 SLK230 a few weeks ago which I intend to use as my latest project car, and so I have a list of mods to carry out in the future.
It has a red/black interior which is nice and the floor/chassis is pretty much rust free, however the wheels are heavily corroded and the front wings are bubbling up. I have a large workshop outside the house with most tools and facilities including paint **** etc, so looking forward to getting some advice and inspiration from this fantastic forum!
So far I have fitted the following:
Mercedes R170 SLK Silver Chrome AMG Grille
Custom Midsport cat-back stainless steel exhaust (sounds awesome!) :surprise:
On the to-do list are:
Front AMG bumper
Rear bumper/splitter
Side skirts
VMAX front wings
VMAX bonnet
Chrome angel eye headlights
Rear spoiler
Refurb alloy wheels
Speer pulley kit
ECU remap
Transmission kit and refill
Suspension upgrade
I have been in the motor trade and the modded car scene for a substantial number of years having owned many cars including Toyota, TVR, Porsche, MG, Mercedes, BMW, Audi to name a few, so hopefully I can also pass on as much knowledge as I can and hope to be of some help to you guys. Looking forward to getting to know you all, and if anyone else is in the Cornwall/Devon area of the UK, give me a shout :smile:
