Pre-Painted Reflectors
Do you guys happen to know if these pre-painted reflectors still protrude out of the car? Or is it the same level as the bumper?

You can drop this person an e-mail, how to get the euro-bumper strip insert. Scroll down to the last picture.

So, I emailed the guy from MBenzNL.com and he responded with the following:
"The R171 SLK does not have separate bumperstrips...it has a bumper
cover
with integrated strips so in order to get rid of the sidemarkers, you
will
have to swap the complete bumperskin...
***please leave the string of mails attached in your reply***

I guess this means our only alternatives are to replace the complete "bumperskin," use the pre-painted reflectors, or have them smoked from a euro tuning shop. I'm going to try smoking the reflectors from a local euro tuning shop. I'll post some pics once it's been completed. I hope it turns out well.
