Pics :


Can't tell the dyno numbers, but I got 271 km/h at midnight. Since no speed limit enforced in my country. I'll search my speedometer photo in my old laptop later when it reached 271 km/h.




Been a year with this set up. No CEL at all.












Super Deep Black paintjob with Purple Xirallic. Gives purple effect when sun shines directly to my wheels and the color stay deep black when theres no sunshine.



























Cheers !!

2020 SLC43 AMG
Seeking Solution: Side Skirts and Mud Guards Availability for 2020 SLC43

I am looking for a definitive solution regarding the lack of availability for 2020 SLC43-specific side skirts and mud guards/splash guards. Since these items are increasingly difficult to source for our platform compared to other roadsters, has anyone successfully adapted parts from the pre-facelift R172 SLK or utilized a specific high-quality aftermarket vendor that actually stocks these?

I'm specifically looking for options that don't require extensive body modification but provide the necessary protection and aesthetic. If you've solved this—either through OEM cross-referencing or a reliable third-party source—please let me know what parts or kits you used.

Thanks for the help.
