Carlsson SLK Bumpers

One of my suppliers has 2 sets of the SLK Carlsson body kit that includes the front bumper, rear bumper, and side skirts.

It's 950$ for both each set.



First two replies that want it, get the product. Then we can work out other details such as shipping and what not.

Are they authentic Carlsson or replica? The price is too good for a real one :p

If they fit my 280, I will take a set. Please PM me and talk about the shipping detail

They are replica, they will fit any R171.
I guess the folks that initially PMed me backed out. There are still two kits for sale, unless the folks that PMed me want a set...

I'm just wondering, are they meant to replace the 55 front bumper completely?

Okay, I just got some more information.
It won't fit the SLK55, so I moved it into general R171 and it's not a replacement bumper. It covers about 2/3rd of the existing bumper.

My mistake guys, but no one with an SLK55 PMed me seriously though, so it's okay

So once again, add on front bumper, rear bumper, and side skirts - 950$ for everything.

Only two sets of these so you'll have to act fast!

I've seen few pics of the Carlsson SLK front bumper installation, and it seems to require to cut and remove 2/3 of your existing front bumper in order to mount the carlsson front bumper using the rest 1/3 stock bumper......that's why I backed out...

It's cool man.
All it takes is a competent body shop to install the bumper.

'12 C204 C250, '05 SLK350 (sold)
What modifications will it require to fit these on a stock non-AMG kit SLK350? Pics of the side skirts too? Are these fiberglass or polyurethane?

The body ship will be able to take care of it. They'll take about 2/3rd of your existing bumper off and modify it to fit the new bumper. I don't have pictures of the side skirts, but be assured it looks just like the original Carlsson setup.

The kit is fiberglass.

Nah, just look for a Carlsson modified R171.
It's two replica kits from a supplier, it's not like they are trying to massively sell these kits.
