SL65?

Hey Guys....New to the MB but I'm considering getting an 06ish SL65 but the stock car looks a little sedate. I've been looking to see who does a widebody kit for the car....couldn't find much.

What exactly is done to this car and more importantly how could I get a SL65 to look like this. Thanks in advance for your help.

While no one can tell you what's done to that car as far as performance mods are concerned, I can assure you it's relatively easy to get your SL55 to look like that.

No special body kit even, that's just an SL55 with a SL65 facelift plus a carbon fiber chin spoiler. The vehicle has been lowered and sittin' pretty on some 20s I've never seen before. I'd go with the Radenergie R10s, black finish if you want the same look.

You say your getting a SL65 which already comes with that front, your just going to need a chin spoiler and a lowering module and some custom rims. Not too hard.

Although I must say, that SL55 looks sinful

Thanks guys.

I also find it a little low with too much rim.....not enough tire.

I like the chin spoiler.

I thought the rear quarter looked a little bulged.....like maybe some wheel well flares had been added??

I noticed the rear quarter panel, it's possibly flared but I'm thinking just because the car is sooooo low and the huge rims are tucked so nicely it might be giving the illusion it's flared, when in reality it really isn't. Just a thought. I actually love the way it looks, slither of tire and everything. But thats just me.
