AMG Package Front Spoiler

[evster5]

I have an '06 slk 350 with the standard front spoiler and I'm thinking about changing it to the one that comes with the AMG package not the one that comes on the slk55 as I don't like the side vents.

Does anyone know if you can just order the front spoiler that comes on the AMG package...not interested in the rest of the bodykit?

If so, do you know part #/price?

Thanks for your assitance.

yes, you can order just the bumper and not the whole kit. Dunno how much but it def won't be cheap.

If you study the car carefully, you will see that the lines of the body will not really look quite right if you change only the front bumper. In my opinion, the Launch Edition front bumper treatment suffers from this very problem. I would be willing to bet that the engineer who came up with the LE add on bumper skirts is a novice with a marketing background compared to the person or team responsible for the AMG design who was probably a fashion designer or graphics design veteran.

I totally agree, I wouldn't do it unless you are getting the whole kit. The side skirts and rear apron doesn't match, it'll actually cheapens your car or you. [:)] People will think you couldn't afford the whole kit. [:D] Not recommended, IMO.

Evster5,
I know I'm from the UK but you should be able to get the same kit/equipment from your MB dealer:-
