Well, it will not fit both the SL55 and non SL55. Technically it will "Fit" but the exhaust cutouts wont be big enough.

hi guys,
i would join but I don't have the AMG rear bumper. If someone is selling one let me know.

I'm also curious on how this will work because the pic of the OEM has as grey strip below the black mesh. Will the grey part also be removed? otherwise I don't see how you can add the 3 fin insert.

It covers the painted area, just look at the E63 we did.

Just make a batch for the SL55?, then I will join that GB. Just have to modified for bigger cutouts. I lost over $2k in Revosport bumper/diffuser, due to poor packing support.

It would be an entirely different part, which would mean different group buy.

Yes, I do have the plastic strip at the bottom of my bumper, so the black plastic strip represents the AMG Sports package? And if so, your kit would fit?

Need three more people

We still need three more confirmed for the rear CH difusser for the R230 SL500. I've contacted the manufacturer and they can proceed with the 7 we have now, but the price would go up to $975... If none of you know another person interested in purchase, I would be willing to buy a second unit in hopes of selling to someone later who saw it on my car, or as a spare if damaged. If two other's would do the same we'd have our ten, just a thought...

Let's get this done folks, three more that's all.

Haven't been here in a while and just noticed this. Iknow it says SL 500, but i have 2007 SL550 with the AMG sport package and my bumper looks like the one your making this diffuser for. If thats the case and it will work on my SL550, Im in.
Thanks
Mike

Not to do it at the original price. But maybe some people would buy more then 1 to get it started. Then sell the others.... we had people do that on other GBs.

Well guys today i had a customer with an SL500 come in an purchase a set of our wheels and he asked if we have a diffuser. I told him we did not, and told him about this thread. He was actually going to write us a check right then to get it on the GB, but I said hold off from doing that today. This puts us at 9. Which is close enough and I will have no problem selling the last one, in fact, i am sure within a few days after people see it, they will want to jump in. But now here is the part where everyone seems to hide. We are now ready to continue, and purchase a bumper and start production. If we create a link on our website to finally collect the payment and get this going, are all 8 of you still around? What we typically see if only a few actually wind up paying and thee GB either falls apart, or drags on for years... So now is the moment of truth. Please let me know if the 8 of you are now ready to finally get this going!

UPDATE!

Ok Guys! big update.... here is the link to purchase the diffuser from

http://www.etkms.com/index.cfm?fusea...t=43&pageid=50

Keep in mind, the way this works is everyone on the list who wants the diffuser needs to checkout for it threw that link. NO ONE is charged a penny until all 8 of you on here pay. At that time, when we get all 8 payments, then everyone is charged and production will start! If things go south, and we do not ever reach our 8 payments. Well, then no one will be chared anything, ever, and all orders will then be deleted and cancelled.

LETS MAKE THIS HAPPEN! We will not dissapoint!
