SL63 vented hood purchased
Hi there guys, i recently added longtube headers etc to my SL63 and potentially another supercharger so thought some cooling might be in order. I have just purchased a vented bonnet that looks very OEM from Prior Design in Germany. I like it because it keeps the central bulge from the stock SL63 hood but also has vents albeit less aggressive than the Black Series. Its made from Durex not carbon fibre
I will post pics once its on teh car and let everyone know on fitment in a few weeks. Here is a pic of it (but not on my car):

I think TC concepts and/or inden makes a carbon fibre Black Series replica hood but not sure if you need their fender parts or bumper as well in order to make it fit

I wonder what type of extra air flow it would create? It seems like it could be significant and possibly allow greater flow across radiators and extra HEs.
It looks great. Would love to see some photos of it installed.

Am debating whether to get their whole new black series widebody kit now. will know in the next day or 2. In that case i will be sending it back altogether and getting the other kit
