Wanted to post this to see how much interest there would be. I believe there are a few vendors out there that would be willing to make one for the SLK55 if there was enough interest.


I"m one that would definitely buy!

 

I'm both interested in a front lip and rear diffuser like pictured below

 

Search this forum, I beleive a couple of MFR's already make them in carbon fiber...

 

I do not believe anyone makes a CF unit for the SLK. The picture above is Eurotec's version for the C55. If you know of a specific vendor that DOES make one, give us the details.

 

I have been unable to locate any vendor that provides Carbonfiber lips for the SLK55 so far.

 

For a reasonable price, I would be interested too

 

I think you guys are going to scrape/break that CF lip. I've already scraped the underside of the stock air dam a bit (not much & you can't see it since the scratching is under the car). BUT, with a lower lip added on....it's going to make you guys CRING every time that CF touches the asphalt.

It won't look good if it cracks or breaks either - you will need to take the whole thing off at that point. Just my 2 cents - especially if you are going to shell out a few hundred smackers. It's your call - just something to keep in mind.

I agree with dsb. i dont think anyone makes CF front lip for the SLK.

But I am sure that VATH makes CF diffuser for the SLK.

 

I have the carlsson one and I scrape it all the time. I'm expecting its something that you need to replace once in a while.

 

That's fine with me too. I considered getting the Carlsson unit but I thought 1)too expensive for what it is, 2)additional time and cost getting it prepped/painted, 3)it is thicker than a CF unit.

Therefore, the CF unit would be less expensive, easier and faster to install, and thinner meaning less chance of scraping. Of course, I DO realize that I will scrape from time to time. I'm willing to deal with it.

 

I've seen the VATH unit. It looks interesting. I don't know about the cost. But, I would much rather have a unit like the one depicted above.

This is where I'm envious of M3 owners. Their options seem to be endless.

 

Anyone get this yet? WHere can we get it in the states?

I may have been thinking about the c-fiber lip for a C-Class...my mistake.

 

Vath/Vaeth cf lip is too Extreme, regardding the scratching and damaging the lip spoiler:

Ive got only one solution is that you get it covered with protective layering both the top and the undersides an example would be 3M clear bra and therefore only the surface area of the protective layering will get scratched instead of the CF unit its self.

How about that Folks ?

 

You can call them and purchase them directly, Contact OWL-SLK from SLKworld I remember him stating that he can get upto 10% off their prices due to Vath sponsering their Local SLK Club/Foundation.

 

alroumi are you saying the Vath has a lip as well?

As to the protective plastic coating ... it can help with small scratches but not big ones. Trust me there will be some big ones!

OF course its all on the underside and no one can see that.

 

Carlsson might do a Carlsson full CF lip but the price will not be anywhere below $2000. Thats my best guess.

 

Yes, they sponser his local SLK club in Germany I remember him saying that he can get parts discounted somewhere around 10-15%

 

i want a front lip....

 

I want a new modification, hoping for a carlsson lip spoiler soon.

 

I want the rear CF pictured above

 

I hope you guys are hanging in there tight! Not THAT much longer to go.

 

Waiting patiently

 

Where can you get a CF rear diffuser?

 

I'm waiting for the rear also...
