R170
I'm beginning to really like it... especially the SLK55 - the rear spoiler and quad exhaust are awesome!

Its on the German site too.
"Neben der AMG Sportabgasanlage mit zwei verchromten Doppelendrohren".
Thats 4 exhaust pipes a la SL55 (2 chromed double exhaust tips = 4)
Also says in the GE price list that the front spoiler on the SLK55 is specific to the SLK55. I think this means that non-55 SLKs with the AMG bodykit will have a normal front spoiler, while the pukka AMG version will get the "FI style" side slats. The Bixenons on the AMG SLK don't steer around corners though, while those on non-AMG SLKs do (space under bonnet reason?)
Oh dear. Prices look pretty horrific!
At 1.42 exchange rate, an approx 2000EUR RHD addition and assuming the following options (many of which will be UK standard) are fitted, the ex-factory GE EUR price plus UK VAT at 17.5% works out as 77,649EUR or 54, 683GBP. Even a properly equipped SLK350 will bust 41,000GBP easily. Thats about 10k GBP (>20%) more than I expected.
