Based on black 2006 SL65...Ext and interior satin CF...interior refresh...performance upgrades (possibly )

Starting after 993tt and 997tt cab builds are done...

After speaking with C2Design and getting tired of keeping black clean...decided on a color change.

Either Palladium Silver or Artic White...plus I think the color change will highlight the wide body of the package vs. keeping it black. While I love my murdered out look...it's been played out. Back in 2007/08 when I started blacking out my E55 and then the SL65...it was a bit unique...now pretty played out.

Plus...Chris@C2 says we can get the SL65BS rear spoiler to add to the look...

If you look on the Prior Design website: http://www.prior-des...ercedes_sl_r230

They have 3 kits...I'm going for just the wide body...the 3rd kit is just a basically a BS replica. I like the middle version only because it isn't trying to mimic the BS completely...it just looks like an SL63 took a good amount of growth hormone and got yolked. It's not as wide as the BS kit but it still retains the SL63 rear (which I like better)...but I like BS rear spoiler so we will combining the best of both worlds.

I can retain my current Revozport rear diffuser...we are just going to refinish it in satin to match the rear wing, side vents, side mirrors, and front spoiler lip.

The wheels...man we have been going over and over so many styles...from super concave (DPE's), deep dish step up lips (Rotiform SJC's), to forged magnesium wheels...still not sure which way to go. Basically a style battle between C2 and me right now...I like the old school look of the Rotiforms SJCs but Chris is feeling it might make the look too dated... We will get there eventually...here are some pics of possible wheels choices...first 5 are the Rotiform SJC's...

Just had phone meeting on this build with Chris@C2Design...The car will get painted gloss black then wrapped in satin white with gloss CF trim.

Going with 20x13 rears...not sure of design yet...but polished inner and outer lip with gunmetal center with the largest concavity that can be made...per my request.

Decided to redo interior in Ferrari black hides with thicker deviated stitching in berry red.

The rear BS wing will be a replica in CF...so it won't raise at speed but will be in fixed position. It won't be set very high per my request...just enough to let you know it's ready to play.

I'm stoked.

I was at C2Design today...Big Brembo Brake kit coming...16" front rotors and 14" rears...

Another option...thinking bronze center with polished lip...

Insane build ... I would suggest against polished lip... white/cf exterior why not satin black face with glossy black lip... anyways best of luck, please keep us posted with the build

RonnieRenaldi

Should be an awesome build!

Since all your builds suck-***, I'll refrain from commenting.

Hey, so if something happens and your rear bumper and diffuser become available, ping me.


BTW, my little Tampa getaway, just turned into Riviera Maya instead. I may still try to make the Skins/Bucs game though. If that's the case...I'll need a car to borrow. Just leave the keys, to the one of your choice at the airport for me, in a locker. Don't forget to include a Post-It note of the parking space you left it at, for me.

Put me second in line for the rear bumper package

You're crazy man. Love your builds.

OUTCAST

AMGfan

Your SL was sick to begin with!

This will definitely be a sick build.

MBhelper

This will be followed for shore...

Speedriven1

Looks like an awesome project. LOVE your 993, such a great car...

Widebody Prior Design SL's are pretty cool cars, had a couple by the shop..





White one is their Widebody kit, and the Black one is the Black Series Kit.

Let me know if you want some more power in your 65 too,

Thanks
Aleks

Aleks...waiting on feedback from Jody on his install. I'm waiting for his project to get started so I can see what real life experience is with your kit.

The sooner you finish his the more of a chance I'd take the plunge. Once I take the plunge...I go all the way...so do him (Jody) right and you might have another car coming to you.

Sean...deep love on the Beast!!! What wheel and tire specs do you have on it?

Thericker

20x13 20x10 345/25/20 265/30/20 Forget name of actual line of RENNEN's but they were similar to the 1's you posted on that Sarona silver widebody above in this thread, only mine were 1st SuperConcacve version in ALL gloss blk

PS they've hit many crappy potholes, CA raods blow.. NOT 1 single dent/crack/ nothing they're MOST STURDY wheels I've ever owned.. Chris@FXautosports can/will hook u up! Knows perfect off sets etc..
