Anything's possible with enough $$.....

Kleeman makes a kit for the SL (?) and around $30k if I remember correctly....No W203 owner would or could afford to put $30k doors on their car so the point is mute..

Even if I think it's technically possible, don't trash your MB with wing doors.

I don't think it would be too bad an idea with the coupe...but probably not such a hot idea for the sedan
