Rear Diffuser SL55

Has anyone fitted one of these to a SL55?

If so was it tricky to do?

Is saw that diffusor in person and it doesn't look as good in real life as it does on the pics. Please note that none of the SLs on your pics has the AMG exhaust pipes... but either the standard pipes or some aftermarket stuff.

The AMG exhaust pipes are wider and the diffusor requires some work to make it fit with AMG pipes. The diffusor also sticks out at the rear quite a bit, as their is no seamless transition between the bumper and the diffusor. Thus seen from the side, it looks a little odd.

If you want a diffusor on your SL55, get the SL63 diffusor.

Sharkster,

Thanks for the advice. Do you know how much the SL63 diffuser is?

Thanks
