SLK 320 (2002 Model)
I was planing to get Sport Package 1, for my 2002 SLK, when I bought it, but now as RedSLKChic say 4K $ or even more is too much for a diference only MB entusiatst will know (...in fact no diference, because your car will look like any SLK 32...)
Anyway, SLK'02 bumpers are fantastic and the look is beautifull, so I don't really think I will ever change it.
Why changing something beautifull (stock SLK'02 body parts), with others that look more or less the same (SP1) and pay for it 6K $ ???
Maybe you can arge, to make your car diferent from the rest, I agree, so please let me tell you something. In my town (Only 25.000 people) there exist 6 or 7 SLK.
But mine is the only one, who has the CLK Grill, (And I hope nobody else even knows, they can obtain this kind of grill in internet) I've also 17"Rims, beautifull desing with 225/45 245/40 Wheels, This car is also debadged (Nobody does it in Spain, they more ofen rebadge them). So I can asure you my car is complettly diferent from the rest of the SLK you can encounter in my town.
People even ask me wich model is my Benz, because they don't asociate it with a normal SLK. (Debaging Rulez!!!!)
Total Cost:
CLK Grill - 190USD
Rims and whells - Not sure but not so much (about 2K USD ??)
Debadge - Free of charge
Having a Beautifull and exclusive Benz - Priceless
And if you want to have a really diferent car, dont forget to wash it after every ride, If you came to my town, you will find my car for sure, because it's always shinning ....Regards

No problem at all
I received My grill from slk-tuning.de, total cost about 190 €
Just unscrew 5 nails and remove old grill (Be carefull lower part of the old grill is dificult to remove, you need to push hard on the lower part in the direction of the engine)
And then, only put new grill in place and screw two more nails... Done !!! And the best of all, you don't need to modify anything (no need to cut or drill your fender)
Grill is premodified to fit in the SLK, in the upper part, there are 2 nails, in the lower nothing but two stripes of foam or rubber that prevent grill from slip off the fender.
I don't like too much this system, thieves can very easylly stole your grill, so i'm planing to screw the lower part of the grill to the fender or something like this.
Regards
