This is the first in a series of concept sketches that I've created for the R107. This wide body design essentially replaces the whole front clip, the door skins, rocker panels, and rear quarter panels. The rear wing, spoiler, and lower diffuser, as well as the roof scoop are designed to be functional and adjustable.

After doing some research and finding some impressive body kits I felt that there needed to be something more extreme for a reasonable price. I created this wide body rendering with the extrovert in mind. The retro modern theme is evident throughout the design, taking a somewhat dated yet iconic sillouette and getting aggressive with it.

I attended the Art Center College of Design, majoring in automotive design. I also have over 15 years in custom automotive bodywork experience. So what do you think of this design? A scale clay model is in the works and should be ready soon. I also have a 1974 450SL to create the final design in full scale. Is there a small market for this body kit?

If you really want opinions post your design here.

There are hundreds of members there and it is the most active 107 forum on the internet. You will get honest opinions.

I don't care for the design but that is my opinion.

Sorry but I personally don't like it and I think you'll find that most other 107 owners will feel the same.

I doubt you'll find enough market to warrant a short run, but then I'm biased.

Like Myway suggested, if you go to benzworld's 107 forum, you might have a much larger number of opinions.

Regardless. Good Luck.
