I ordered it from here, when it arrives I will take a picture for you:

Marco Waschke

Wiechers GmbH
Südring 4
D - 31582 Nienburg

Does anyone else know about any other slk black series parts I can buy directly from the manufacture? Since I live in the US I can't get them from the dealer. I mostly want the light wheels and the brace on the engine mount.

I checked out the website but can't navigate it since everything is in German and I don't see a way to switch to English...

what about that piece by the battery box? AMG had a custom piece for the bar to clear, what are you going to do, just cut it out?

I am having my battery relocated to the trunk where the spare is.

Cool, i've been wanting to do that. Are you running a complete new Negative and Positive cable? or Positive only? Or have you found a connection in the trunk for the positive? What battery are you going with?

Very cool. Will the strut bar fit a c55 also? Let me know how you ended up running the battery cables. Are you going to get one of those battery relocator kits from like summit? I am going to do the same as I don't run the spare in the rear. Let me know how it goes. Thanks!

The shop I use will install the battery with a kit. Once I get some time to go over there, I can give you more details.

sounds good. post some pics if you can. Especially of how they do the wiring with the stock battery cables and how they routed them.
