Aye, it was waiting for the wheels and I was waiting to what MB were going to contribute, 'tis all.

so were the original wheels made by MB or Lorinser? my momma is having to have four wheels refurbed on her slk, all four are badly corroded... much like a the rest of the car was tbh.

Sold and stamped by Lorinser, not sure who they use to manufacture them.

where exactly is kleeman uk ?

their website only gives reference to some mayfield garage place that have absolutely no on-line prescence whatsoever !

That is Kleeman UK, if you are referring to SKG Performance. They sent me a link to the new 09 catalogue, don't think it's available from their site, if you are interested. Prices are ok, there is definitely some room to manoeuvre though.

Not terribly exciting. I don't mean to be rude or secretive but I don't think it's particulary relevant :)

How are you getting along with the GTR?

Much nicer wheels on the Merc

Cheers. I'll write something up shortly about the GT-R, I'm extremely pleased with it though so far.

i was slightly put off by the fact they had no on-line prescence at all.

Ultimately i should have rung them up, but i dont want to take up peoples valuable time on the phone with my dreaming. Incidentally, what do they quote for the C63 tuning. Believe a remap and a set of unrestricted headers unleashes 560 bhp + as the C63 is just a restricted E63 engine that has 520hp stock.

Couldn't tell you, sorry, I've only had the numbers for the 55, I would not have thought there would be a massive price difference though. The catalogue has no prices, like the site.
 
Probably would have helped you if I had actually given some prices (I only requested what I was interested in so no brake prices etc... but should give you a ballpark figure):

K1, £ 2,692.00 Pulley upgrade, ECU re-programming & sports air-filters. (bhp 550 / 750nm)

K2, £ 4,595.00 K1 + SS tubular headers and de-cat downpipes. (bhp 570 / 780nm)

K3, £ 6,545.00 K2 + Super sport camshafts.(bhp 600 / 835nm)

K4, £ 8,695.00 K3 + larger throttle body. (bhp 620 / 900nm)

All inc VAT and fitting

Limited Slip Diff (60%) £ 1,295.00 + VAT.

EBL (electronic lowering module) £ 1,145.00 + VAT.

Alternatively, call them and ask for Steen.

As for OP, looks excellent. Was always a fan of the F1 alloys. What are you getting done from Kleemann? If you are getting the exhaust done you will have to let us know how it sounds.

K4 and the LSD. EBL from MEC Design.

As far as exhaust, it seems AMG got it spot on with flow so it's just for the sound, I'm heavily leaning towards Eisenmann right now.

(rev-limited 4k rpm)

 
you had a look at brabus?

do MB limit all their [petrol] engines to 4k at a standstil?
our old C did it, didn't expect them to do it on an SL tho :/

Aye, looked at Brabus, Carlsson, Renntech etc. I like what Kleeman can offer and their reputation.

Stationary rev limit is not just MB. Not sure why you would want to exceed 4k with no load so it's a bit of a non-issue, well for me anyway.

like in that vid, if you want to rev high to hear the lovely exhaust :p

although i only discovered it when i was trying to do some 11s before the car was handed back at the end of its lease ;)
 
I prefer the new wheels, much better :)

You have great taste in cars btw. Love the sneaky GT-R just poping its head in the picture :p
