Wide Body / Fender Flare

Does this E55 have wide body kit, or is it just the color? Everything looks stock, except it appears that the rear fenders stick out more than usual. What do you think?

definitely looks like a widebody kit was installed to accomodate the wheels....

Definitely flared. The W211 can accommodate 285's max, and those appear larger than that. That car looks good.

It looks like it should have leaf springs on the back too.. Red or yellow ones.

IMO - I don't like it..

I'm not too crazy about the wheels as well, but it looks pretty good from the rear view. One of the more aggressive appearances I've seen.

was '03 E320 - now - '04 S4
Other than the wheels - that car looks badass.

Kind of reminds me of the old school Hammer 500E fender flares.

True. Not to mention the fact that you really have to look hard and compare to tell for sure that it's a widebody kit shows it is can still be done in a classy manner. Most other widebody kits I've seen have enormous flares and look hideous. This one was done perfectly, IMO.

Those flares blend in well with the rest of the body. Love the stance and all, but those rims need to be swapped out for something like HRE or DPE.

It is pretty unanimous that no one likes the wheels, but most like the w211 with the flares. I was just thinking that this is probably an ad for the wheels, and sure enough it is.

now if it had the wheels like the ones in the link (first from the left, the bbs type) that would have been much much nicer
