The Mansory Renovatio SLR McLaren at Geneva Motor Show

eMercedesBenz.com posted a full press release and photos (motor show photos and renderings) of the latest SLR offering. Wow, is all I can say.

You really need to check it out for yourself and form your own opinion. (make sure you scroll down to check out all of the photos (most of them enlarge))

A lot of Mansory's work is really nice but this SLR is terrible. Quite disappointing.

You just hafta picture the car in all black, or all white.

But I still think the Brabus SLR roadster is FAR more sick.

Maaannnn...... I know these are expensive upgrades and all, but that doesn't look good (at least not as half good as the Brabus upgrades)

All that nasty work and they leave the brakes stock...

Maybe thats when they realized what they were doing the world and decided to call it quits.

Dude I have to agree with you and everone else. The color is WTF, but the right color on this car can make a big diff.

My guess is they wanted attention so they put it out in this odd color.
