The SLK is one of the top range in the Mercedes stable of vehicles and is produced with the aim of rivaling the BMW Z4, Porsche Boxster and Audi TT. It is made available in a few variants; namely the SLK 200, 280, 350 and 55 AMG. Amongst these, the SLK 200 has the lowest spec … but don’t get me wrong, overall it’s still a very good car and a real chick magnet. Who doesn’t want to own and drive a SLK, right? But the problem is, even with a sleek and sporty appearance, if it was to be park side by side with its other siblings, the 350 or 55 AMG, I’m sure this SLK 200 will look kind of ‘dull’.
Cliff, the owner of this featured SLK 200 acknowledges this and had thus decided to give his ride a make- over, one that is clearly different from his monstrous Mitsubishi EVO Tommy Makinen Edition that was featured some time back in our magazine. Then it was all about brute power, but now, the focus is on cosmetics. Let’s face it, the SLK 200 in its standard design is already a gorgeous and most would be satisfied in the looks department, but for Cliff, his ride just had to be drop dead gorgeous.
To realize this, Cliff had installed onto his SLK a full set of SLK55 AMG body kit, which is a higher version among the SLK variant. The magic word is AMG, a renowned tuner for the Mercedes marquees and has a long history with this German car manufacturer in motorsport event such as the DTM races.
