Wow. Dinko, good job! It looks amazing - you did a good job pal.

Seeing your car is making me anxious over my SLK. It starts getting dyno pulls to optimize maximum power output on Wednseday (headers & exhaust arrive from Kleemann on Tuesday). It will then take a few days as the ECU programming is optimized from software downloads from Denmark. Ahhh, it will be worth the wait, just like your SLK mods. Patience.

PS - your brakes look good.

Cheers!
-Matt

Nice Dinko, your pics are wallpaper material. Your pics shows that is why all SLK's need and deserve aftermarket 19" shoes.

My brother in black...

From one black center HRE owner to another...sweet ride.

Glad to see you choose the HREs. BTW I spoke with the engineer at HRE last week about the Viper racing league and he said it was a bunch of hog wash what happened out there. For the real story just call HRE and ask for the head engineer he'll give you the low down on the politics and sponsorship of Forgeline that led to HREs being banned in the Viper Racing league. It has nothing to do with standards or "multiple" failures. Also, the PCA loves HREs.

Dinko,

Car looks amazing, I just got an slk in silver and your pics leaning me towards black rims. Looks gorgeous!

Oh yeah, what did you pay for the suede roof and what type of place would i look for to do that to be certain they did a factory quality job.

Haven't had enough time to check the handling. Only about 50 miles on the car since the mod. Plus it's been raining in Florida every other minute.

Will keep you updated.

Like a mini Dodge Viper? I must be doing something wrong, I don't want to look like a Viper.

Your SLK55 looks great in Silver, with the black wheels.

I am sure that you are getting alot of looks when driving with these.
