Default SLK32 AMG side skirts on a crossfire. My project is stalled BIGTIME. PLEASE HELP

The following photo illustrates what in my opinion would be a super bad *** mod. Crossfire with SLK32 AMG side skirts. I already have the Startech front spoiler in the pic so that is done. Now I cannot find a place that sells the 2000-2001 SLK32 side skirt. Everybody has the lame 2002-2003 side skirt which does not have as pronounced a cut in it. As you notice the "cut" in the rear of the side skirt matches almost perfectly the "X" in the fender of the Xfire. Its a match made in heaven.

YET I CANNOT FIND THE 2000-2001 SIDE SKIRT, ONLY THE 2002-2003 COPY. If anybody can help me find an original set or copies of the 2000-2001 part please PM me or post in the thread. Its the last piece of my exterior mods I'm missing.

Here is a pic of the finished product I photo chopped onto some dudes badass SRT6.

Thank you dudes and dudettes

I've been to two dealers here in Fairfield county and they won't sell them to me without a VIN number. Ridiculous!!!

OK, go on e-bay and find one for sale and use that VIN for the dealer.

Really??? I think it has something to do with CT and everybody being an azzhole. People here who drive or service benz's are very, very protective of the marque. If they think thats a fake VIN they will probably ban me from the dealer but I'll try it.

Try it. I've done it. The only reason they want the VIN is to make sure they give you the right part. You can also try it with a dealer on the web.

Sweet, thank FP! I'm going on Ebay now, the VINs should be in the listing I suppose. For carfax reasons.

Did you try these folks? - they may not have them listed on their website but if you called and asked..?

If they can't get it - they could point you in the right direction.

Yep, eBay... I've done that numerous times! They never ask if it's really your car, guess they figured you wouldn't buy parts for something you stole

Agreed, that and the spoiler are really bad a** together!
Good luck and post pics when done!

Good luck with your project Mayaman! Sorry I couldn't provide any help, but I'm guessing that Crossfire owners who are actually RESIDING stateside would be of better help than me (being all the way out in Korea and all).

If worse comes to worse, you can always go the same route as I have... Rieger!

Take care my friend.

The kit PN is: B6 603 6056
You can find it at http://www.mercedes-amg.com/index2.html and look under showroom, accessories, slk-class, br 170.
By the way, your photoshop looks like the side skirts on my 2004 SLK32.
