Hey there, basically I'm looking for another boot lid and don't want to spend much on one. The reason is I want to bit a wing on it and ofcourse I want to keep my original boot lid hole free, I have seen a slk r171 350 boot lid for £150 and is the only lid iv seen on ebay.

Will this fit the 200 or do they have different dimensions/ fitments?

Thanks, Robbie

Shouldn't be any difference, especially if the 350 is pre FL as well....

Apart from looking for boot lids, have you tried people "breaking" cars, it might open up your options a bit?

That's not the part the OP is referring to. He is referring to the metal boot (or trunk) lid, not the ABS plastic pull out cover which covers luggage to stop it fouling the vario roof when opened.

The boot (or trunk) lid is the same on all R171 models, and it is part number 1717500075. There is another part for the USA market 1717500375 which differs only in the licence plate attachment.

Thanks very much everyone I will have a look and see who is breaking some slks. Hopefully find one that's colour matched!
