One step at a time, lots of stuff on my mind its a question whether I think they are worth it.

CF python tubes, K3 kit with the Camshafts, CF front strut bar, Quafie LSD( must have ), KW coil over suspension currently have Brabus lowering springs. Also CF VIS Hood ( painted in body colour)

CF diffuser is nice but the one I like VAETH, costs 2,000 euros I think its quiet pricey for something thats basically just for looks.

I found some for around 600-900euro if you don't mind getting it from a non-big name company...

I'll give it a think, whenever I think I've done modding I dig up more stuff to install; its becoming an investment fund rather than a weekend car. I am not too fond of the middle vent with that diff, it looks too non oem.

I want to stay as subtle as I can with this car, dont want to overdo things.

Quote: I am not a fan of debadging a car, I removed the red K because it just didnt look right its too long SLK55 K and the fact that its on the left it didnt look too alligend, too much highlight with the red and grabs attention as apposed to the Kleemann logo which is in the centre.

So the car now has the SLK55 and the Kleemann emblem, a bit more subtle and understated if you dont notice the Kleemann emblem.
Whatever you like. Problem is, most do not know what a BIG Red K means?? Even on a Benz??

Finally got the photos resized !! whew!!

This is what your final product should look like:

Word of advice, to get max acceleration out of it, assuming you have traction, you'll have to turn ESP off, otherwise the electronic nanny will constantly be interfering with your runs!! yOU WILL ALSO be bumping up against the rev limiter quite a bit. Did Kleemann send you a tune yet??? Its pretty important, in fact, vital on that car!!

I had the tune since 26th of September, I got the tune back (ecu) and then the installation started dont worry.

Are you putting it on a "Dynojet"? If I had to venture a guess, I'd say she's going to put down about 330-350 RWP on the Dynojet??
