WoW another Widebody build to add to the mix...

I see lots of cues borrowed from Mishadesigns as well as OEM SLBS..The odd parts I see are the oversized blocky Sideskirts & rounded-over 1/4 panel wheel flairs, lastly the front wheels look like they are too narrow or need a large set of spacers..

Having said that I think the OEM rear diffuser & bumper are SICK!! & OEM Style hood is very nice, also great color choice & like the Parktronik integration, wheels are interesting

Very interesting design... More info on that car ? Does it belong to any specific crew or has it been shown in a specific event ? Name of the company who build the car ?

Thanks.I think the R230 2.0 has a very big potential,even more since the BS was realeased.

wheels need to be out more, it's too low, the front is horrible with the overly ungly bumper and design, the sides are good so are the flares, and the rear is nice although the diffuser again is not functional...wheel style is nice and the paint color is fantastic!

If you:
-Raise the car a couple of inches,
-Bring those wheels out a little,
-And replace that front bumper with something better, that car would look amazing.

Hard to say it much better than this.

Awesome color, correct amount of contrast elements, reasonable choice in wheels (different/extreme, but not hideous).

Def needs to be raised up, proper meaty tires.

Awesome rear diffuser, hood, few other goodies.

Not digging the rear fender integration into the rear bumper.
Hate the front end/fog light stuff.

Would look even better with the headlights from Cyan 740i's conversion.

Good to see continued aftermarket support and projects using the R230 platform though!

Isn't this the Sarona kit? No disrespect meant but if you study the angles the wheel flairs especially rears are a bit too thick. It has the same exhaust tips Sarona used as well as they left the 3rd brake light on trunk lid stock RED def 100% SL500 (Notice rear rotors/calipers) & the V12 biturbo badging on frnt 1/4 exactly as Sarona did after we razzed them they P-chopped out rear SL65 BS AMG badging, they also were from NYC/Jersey & showed the car @ Javitz..

This photo has definite heavily airbrushed softened quality to it, Sarona sl500 was Brilliant Silver, this looks like the Special Designo color P-chopped (notice fitment areas are all but invisible where bumpers/sideskirts lineup & door handles/body lines are all soft-fuzzy etc...)

Lastly what happened to far right exhaust tip? it's all F-up & pointing toward ceiling looks like it's upside down? P-Chop error

I checked with Rennen. It is the Sarona Kit. Def photoshoped for visual effect. I've studied all their pics versus the original BS and it's pretty damn close. Their problem is more around the stance of the vehicle. In most pics the rear sits lower then the front and their wheel fitment and choice before the above pic where unattractive. This pic above pic definitely lowers the car from the other "live" pics I saw at the Safis center. Although they do have some pics outside it looks like in the Hoboken, NJ area that are pretty good. But wasn't their kit all fiberglass, which you reviewed to be a no-no in the kit world and ricockulously over priced.
