Please explain why this would be not suitable.
Edit
OK, I got the numbers mixed up, the 112 090 05 01 is the one for the SLK320 and will fit with the OEM inlet tubes. It is a one piece air box.
Kamilspider was talking about 112 090 11 01, it is a two piece air box I believe, I do not think it will fit because it is too thick and it rubs on the hood liner. The tubes might fit inside the inlets on the air box.
I think I took two of these boxes complete with the nose pieces to the town dump because vendors kept sending the wrong part, they thought as they looked alike they were the correct part, the parts they sent were too thick and the wrong part number. I had all these parts lying around as they said to keep the wrong part and they would send the correct part, but again I got the wrong part. I kept at it until they sent the correct part. Different vendors were supplying the nose and main body.
The 112 090 10 01 will fit and needs larger inlet tubes but the OEM Crossfire ones will fit inside rather than outside the air box inlets. It too is a two piece air box.
Even the OEM air box rubs on the hood liner slightly, so thicker really rubs hard.
