CLK Black series CF rear bumper

Does any make a bumper/rear defuser for the SLK55 that looks like the CLK black series CF piece? That thing looks amazing, esp the way it hugs the quad tail pipes.



If not can anyone "make" one, I'm sure I can get enough people together for a 10+ group buy.

You may want to give Eurotec a shot. I'd be in for a group buy if the price is right.

I never got a message about this. But anyway, we are working on a diffuser like this for the E55. May then try one for the SLK55 if it works well. I am getting closer to trying to get the front lip done first.

My friends got it done on his SLK. They look sick in person and please don't ask about the price. I don't know that. Good Luck~

That looks pretty good. I would rather it be ALL CF though. Do you know where he got it? Can you ask?

Thanks!

Neil,

The more I think about it, the more I am leaning towards the rear diffuser. Many of us have our SLK's lowered and experience scraping as is. I know it'll be more of a concern if we have a front lip spoiler too. So, maybe you should take a poll to see what has more interest. Front lip or rear diffuser?

I wanted a better front lip than this carllson crap. I would also like it in CF.

Rear diffuser ... absolutely I'd pick one up.

Front lip is not an option for me since it would pretty much just be dragged all over the street and destoyed where I live.

So I'm really interested in an all CF rear like the clk black series.

I'd be in for a "reasonable" front lip (reasonable in drop that is) the CF one that Neil had developed for the C55 was awesome, something similar would be great for the SLK...

I recently sold the lotus because I haven't been driving it that much. It was very fun to drive, but I needed a car that could get more through traffic jams and something I could drive comfortably for more than an hour. As far as the diffuser, I had a massive CF one on mine. Not only do these things give a much more sporty appearance, but make the car much more stable at high speeds... especially when you combine it with a spoiler:
