Just saw a silver R230 SL500 yesterday at Sprewell Racing! It looks like it was dropped and with some chrome 20" Brabus Monoblock IV's 2-piece. Car was awsome!! Took the top down and then put it up very quick! No license plate yet but the plate frame says Auto Market?? In anyways the car is niceeeee!!

We had one at the shop today I got to take it out for a drive!!!!!!!!!!! What a sweet car I timed the top it only 15 sec to complete the cycle. The fit and finish are flawless. On the west coast you will see it at the LA car show.

2003 SL-500 on order
DUB magazine is doing a full layout on that SL with 20's. a few pics are on the website. but they're not brabus, they're some kinda brabus imitation.. they look like monoblock III's but a lot wider. something like 20" by 11" in the rear. I wonder how they lowered it though.

I think the DUB site is having problems. they seem to be always changing it. but there wasnt any detailed article about that specific SL, all they said is that a full description of the car and mods will be in their new issue. If i find it ill try to post the article.
