Rear fender wide-body for SL65 ?

I'm in awe of the guys on this forum who've undergone a full wide-body transformation of their SL65. I love the results but don't have the nerves for it.

Has anyone done a wide-body type application to just the rear fenders, or just flared their rear fenders which would allow a wider set of tires?

Would it look ridiculous to flare out only the rear fenders ?

Comments & suggestions are welcome.

thanks kustom2k1 - I think it looks good. I'd want to see it from more angles.

There is another video of the same car rolling but, cant seem to find it. You need to find a shop that knows what they're doing. Couple of C63 wide bodies on the site, you might want to check out their posts.

2007 Väth SL65 AMG. 2007 BMW Alpina B5s. 2007 BMW M6.
Don't mean to switch focus or anything , but isn't that the 3-slots grill..?
Which means it's a mod 2007 and later..?
And an AMG bumber..?

So here's my question;
How the h**l did he manage to find a front lip for that AMG bumper..?
Have anyone else here seen one..?


BTW, I find it nice with the wide rear fenders!

I think he just painted all the fins black and left the center one chrome to give off the illusion
