Does anyone know if the Performanceproducts4benz.com body kit (W170) will fit on our cars? I was looking at it and was thinking of taking a hit and trying it. I think it would set off my car pretty good.

 

Have you seen a W170?
why would you think this?
You would be better off starting from scratch and adding about 75lbs of mud for the project.

the length of the fender well inside to inside look the same. I need to measure it but I was just curious. The SLK just seems so similar to ours.
I guess not.

 

I'm getting the AMG32 side skirts from the r170, they should be a perfect fit. The other stuff though is not.

I have a photoshopped pic in Koreaxfires thread about side skirts. Its going to be bad ***.

Please post pics when you're done. I would love to see how it looks.

 

Definately post the pics. I rode with the Houston Performance Drivers crew and I kind of felt naked in my Base XF. I have been looking for a set of skirts for my XF just don't know what will fit without to much cut and paste you know.

FP, you're from Crystal Lake, IL? That's cool. I was at Ft. Sheridan, IL not to far from there for 3 years. I lived at In Great Lakes Naval Station housing though. Do you go to Great lakes Dragway? I used to go up there with the MY3KGT.org guys with my 3000GT. The street races are awesome there.

 

Here is just a photoshop taste of the awesomeness to come.

Check out how the cross in the rear of the skirt almost matches perfectly the cross in the front fender. Also notice the sweetness known as Startech front spoiler.

suuuweeeeeeet.

 

That's pretty slick! I'm not one for messing with the look of the car, since I already think it looks great, but you're right, those side skirts fit perfect with the rest of the car - as if they were made for it.

 

I can't find it. Where is the pic so I can take a look?

 

LOL are you serious, there is a huge pic in the middle of this thread. Check your browser settings. turn on scripts

 

My bad. I had to switch to my personal labtop. My work PC blocks all pics. I like the way it looks though. My XF is the same collor so it helps a lot. Thanks

 

If I am not mistaken, I think Mayaman was referring to my X-fire (it's "xfirecorea" not "koreaxfire" Mayaman! ^^

But yes, kits for the SLK230 / 320 / AMG32 (R170) do fit our cars, albeit with some minor tampering. Here are some pics of my car (w/ Rieger body kit) for your viewing...

 

Mmmmmm..... I'm in love....with the car xfirecorea...don't get any ideas.

 

LOL sorry man

 

Ilike the side skirts, and they need to make something to match the rear bumper. looks alright, kinda like knight rider or something. you need a blinking red light in the grill.

can't say I like the chrome front grill..too much pop.

the rims are very cool, who makes those?

 

i like the front bumper what is it? did you just put the front spoiler on there or is that from the merc as well

 

I knew I had seen your car before. I just never could find it again. Thanks for putting up the pics. I like the skirts and will probably buy some on the 1st. Is there a lot of modification needed? Also, I can't really distinguish the difference in the Startech wing. I am going to find the website in order to see what is the differnce. Thanks again. Now I need some one to paint them when I get them.

 

Borican, I will takes pics of my white car. I also have the Startech rear spoiler and it shows up much clearer on the white car. Its totally worth it trust me, it looks a ton better in real life and adds needed balance tot he back of the car.

The startech front spoiler I have in that pic is also probably the best thing you can do to the front of your Xfire. In person its just fierce looking. Transforms the front of the car from wimpy and high to mean and low slung. The AMG skirts match it perfectly in height.

 

Is the quality that much better?

Thanks guys. I just re-enlisted and want to put a bit of my bonus into my my car. Do you have to mess with the camber at all when you lower the car?
