slk55

Morning folks - quick hello and intro as we've just bought an SLK55 (R172) and I am looking for a friendly forum to help me enjoy the car to its full! I bought a Jan 2013 SLK55 AMG in Obsidian Black with Bengal Red interior, with AMG PP, Panoramic Vario Roof and what appear to be all the...

OK, so I've done a lot of searching and I still haven't satisfied my question with regard to R171 SLKs: Is the SLK55 worth the extra over a SLK350 as a daily driver for someone on a budget? SLK55 is obviously the faster car, but that's not the question. I've driven a 350 and I found it...

Greetings, citizens. As per title, what are my options? I'm toying with the idea of changing the car, but I could spend a bunch of money in the process and end up with an unknown quantity. On the other hand, I could chuck the same amount on a blower for the SLK, wind up with 500+ BHP, and...

I have recently joined the AMG world having recently bought an SLK55 AMG. It was already remapped by the previous owner and has had its secondary cats removed and sports boxes fitted at the rear. The next step I've been told is to fit sports header and sports cats off it. Quoted cost for this...

Took my pride and joy for a cruise in the sunshine :)

To be replaced with......... Another :) In a different league to the old one in terms of ride quality, fixtures and fittings, kit etc. Much more economical (not that you buy an SLK55 for that), and sounds even better. The Bengal Red seats are much less 'strident' than...

Anyone have any idea how much this would cost? Tempted to get the bonnet done as well. Will probably get it done later in the year, I just bought an important little ring and am slightly pennyless :)

Hi guy's, had my R171 wrapped in gloss white by Customised Graphics who done a sterling job. The car was originally black. I have the 16 spoke AMG wheels, was thinking getting them sprayed in a satin black with polished rim but from the sound of it the polished rim isn't possible. Or maybe a...

Hi, I've got my heart set on purchasing an SLK55 from the early R171 period and just wondered if there was any specific areas of concern I should look for when purchasing? Secondly I have seen one listed as being a Black Series on an 05 plate but all my research has pointed to the black...

Hi, Looking to fit a set of decent Coilovers on my SLK55 (R171) do you guys know if there is any available for the SLK AMG? I had a set of H&R on my C55 and that changed everything, It was amazing round the bends! Looking for similar, any advice & recommendation? Cheers, Jo.

Hi, Not sure if anyone has experienced this before; Hardly getting any air coming from my SLK55, my climate control works fine, I've set it on high but there's very tiny amount of air coming. There was a noise coming from behind the dash last month when I turn the climate control on but...

Video A Coca-Cola truck driver cuts off a motorcycle rider and in doing so at a very high speed crosses an intersection when the light is turning red. In the process it takes out a Mercedes SLK 55 roadster with an elder man driving the car.

Hi guy's, I love my black slk55 AMG, so much so for my next car I will probably just get another one! I would like a small change, so I was wondering on the possibility of simply swapping my car for one in white. I know our cars are quite rare but was wondering if there is anyone on this...
