SL 65 project

You don't realise how lucky you are in the States. In the UK there are very
few used SL65 for sale and they are the 2003 shape. I want to buy one,
2009 shape, and fit a wide body kit on, re painted red and trimmed in
magnolia leather, and of course a re map on the engine.
I guess I will just have to wait till one comes along. I love my new 63 so I
am looking to sell when warranty runs out. What's the cheapest 65 you have
seen, I would love to know.

do the red paint/ magnolia upgrade to your R231... and ad a Fab Design BAYARD widebody (IMO the only thing looking good as a widebody on the R231)

Do some Weistec turbo upgrade.

It will be more rare and more exciting than a R230.

http://www.fab-des********/ The website of the manufacturer. The R231 Wide body kit "Bayard" hasn't yet been featured on the site, but you can contact them if you want.
