It didn’t take long for car tuning firms to start tuning the recently released Mercedes-Benz SLK Roadster. I think Piecha Design is the first tuner that is offering an upgraded body kit for the SLK, called the “Accurian RS”.
The Piecha Design body kit for the SLK Roadster is quite subtle but it does give the 2012 SLK a sportier look. The front gets a redesigned bumper with extra vents, LED daytime running lights, and an elegant chin spoiler. The body kit continues on in the sides with the addition of side skirts that include LED lights under them that light up at night. Not really sure what to think of these lights, they seem very tacky and I thought we left this type of “upgrade” in the 80’s and 90’s. The rear bumper gets a black diffuser that can be ordered in small or large size and it integrates the quad tail pipes into the bumper. A rear spoiler lip has also been added to the trunk.
To complete the new sporty look, the Piecha Design SLK Accurian RS rides on 19” monoblock wheels and 25 mm lowering springs. No upgrades were made to the engine but don’t be surprised to see them on the next version.
