I have some lips here I need to test fit. I will hook it up if the test fitter decides to keep it. It is a nice piece and I need to have installed pictures.

PM / Email me please!

I wish I was in Socal. If you ship it to me in Norcal, I would be more than happy to test fit it for you and take the installed pictures.

Gary,

Your SL is beautifull !!!! I love everything you done to it. Man, I really want it but my heart is with the Slk55. I can't make the same mistake the 3th time, this time around. Good luck with the sale.

Gary,

Bad news it does not fit.

On the lip, it's labeled for a CLK 55. Look like the lip is at least 1" wider than the bumper on one side. Since it's not flexible, I don't want to even take any chance of trying to force it to fit. I was so disappointed because I really love it, the CF quality looks awesome.

Can you please cover the return shipping? Thanks for giving me the privilege of test fitting it.

Should have leave it to professional like "" to do the fitment. 1" on the side can be easily fix as long as the middle/front section line up to the curves of the bumper. Ship that spoiler to me.

Fix as in stuffed the 1" gap with bondo? lol

Klinh, I'll take your used front lip if you want to sell it. I'll also buy your CF diffuser and quad AMG exhaust.

No, I would never sell mine Euroteckmotorsport carbon fiber lip because it it got the most aggressive design out there. Like I said, if the front lip curves line up to the bumper curves then the 1' gap on the side can be fix. Here how i would do it. Position the bumper so the you only leave .5 inches gap on each side of the bumper. Use one screw on each side to pull the plastic bumper onto the carbon lip to reduce the gap. Man, where are your creative thinking?

How about I'll take your bumper lip which fits very well and you can take mine and use screws to PULL the plastic bumper (watch it snap and crack during the summer heat) onto the carbon lip to REDUCE (not eliminate) the gap. I'll even throw in some free bondo for you bro.

Hey, I'm sure you won't mind fixing it cause you are the real PRO!

That's how I did it with my lip. You got to understand that it the plastic bumper that flex into the lip. If you think screws will cause the lip to crack, how do you think the lip is mounted? With screws every where underneat the bumper and the lip does not seated flat on to the bottom bumper too. So some screws wil have to force the lip and bumper together. I wouldn't sell mine to get this lip because it not the same design. Mine is much more aggressive design.

The factory keeps screwing w/ me. First they said they are for CLK55 and then this. Is the 07+ CLK55 bumper wider?
Hey Klinh, Can you email me back about the BS trunk spoiler, sir? Thanks
