Yeah, Those look good on darker cars. But I would keep an AMG as an AMG and dont like to mix and match that much.

Looks like AMG agrees that the CF bumper and splitter look nice... Does anyone make one that looks like this for the SLK55?

The diffuser does look amazing, but I am under strict orders not to show the work-in-progress photos

Have some patience guys, if you buy the Vath or Piecha diffuser you will regret it when we finally post some pics of this beauty in a week or so

are you making an entire bumper or just the replacement lower valence? If the latter why wouldn't it work? Will you make one for the c55? Thanks.

It is a replacement valance but it goes about a foot and half under the car too and its all once piece. It was totally molded around the SLK55 bumper, exhaust and under side of the car. It is not possible to fit anything but this car. It wont even fit a SLK350. As far as a C55 diffuser. I have had people ask me recently. It was nothing i planned to do since we are focusing on the W204 C300 and C63. But i had a guy interested locally telling me he will let us use his C55 to make a diffuser. So i suppose if there is enough interest i can have it done, once we catch up on a few things, i can start a thread in the C55 forum to gauge interest.

I am sure there would be great enough interested to do a mold. I would be surprised if the slk55 one wouldn't work without modification for the c55- they appear to be the same.

Don't forget that they will also be offering rear spoiler, front lip, and mirrors as well. The entire kit in carbon fiber will really transform the car's image and make it look much more aggressive

It will look even better with their bumper with carbon fiber brake-cooling ducts:

I think the point is that they can't guarantee that it will fit C55 since they designed it specifically for SLK55, but with some modifications to it, it might work

I was referring to that area that would be replaced around the mufflers etc. not the entire bumper- I'm sure that's greatly different

Update

Just thought I'd give you guys an update. I picked up my SLK55 from Euroteck Motorsports two days ago since they no longer needed my car. I had a chance to look over their work-in-progress and the diffuser looks amazing! It is a 3-element diffuser similar to new SL63 diffuser. Although I am unable to post the work-in-progress photos, it will look somewhat similar to this:



Hopefully everything should finalize next week!
