Body Kit - Styling

Has anyone ever styled an SLK? I am looking to have the Rieger Body placed on mine but just wondered if anyone had any reasons why i should or should not do it?

Many Thanks

I want to but have not yet.

I personlly like the brabus kit. And it come painted and ready. From what I understand the Reiger Kit is not painted yet. And has to be fitted to you car.
Also I would check out the expression kit I like that one too but it does not come painted either. You can see it on the proformace product website.

The kit makes the Benz look too "Honda-ized".

Thumbs up

Very nice. The whole car has been transformed. Looks like an exotic. My question is: is that a Rieger spoiler?

Every spoiler I've seen so far I haven't liked, but yours looks great! Also, yours doesn't look riced . I think the comment about "honda-ized" about the silver one, was because somehow the eyelids pushed it over the top.

Kit was fitted by www.Autovogue.com and they also supplied the mesh. They have a good website so might be able to advise if you give them a call.

Spoiler is Rieger i believe, again purchased and fitted at the same time.

***THE CAR IS UP FOR SALE ON AUTOTRADER AS OF TODAY***

Please pass the work to any people who might be interested. It might have the kit but it has been treated nicely
