Talking Just Cannot Wait

My body shops are unable to do the wide body for this SLK because I demand too much:

- GTR Wide Body verion, somewhere between CLK GTR / Skyline GTR
- Lamborghini Tail light (if anyone can do the job)
- SLR Front Light (if I can find the parts)
- Gull Wing door (expect to finish in March)
- Air suspension
- Another set of Lorinser Wheels (I have 3 sets of different wheels now)

Actually after I finish the project, the car will be in car show in the U.S. for about just 1 year, then it will be shipped to China and stay in the showroom there to enjoy "his" retirement.

The kit is limited production worldwide. If anyone is interested in it, I still have 2 or 3 sets available. I can be reached at dachen@canautoclub.com.

Thank you all for your comments.

did I hear you right?? gull wing door on a convertible? what would the door be attached to?

Lambo tail lights? SLR front light? Why would you want to ruin a perfectly good Mercedes?

Honestly P*, do you expect Mr. AUTO to know the not-so-subtle difference between lambo/scissor doors and our beloved gullwing doors, given the first pics?

Unhappy Good question.

Gull wing door is the ultimate choice. In case I cannot get it (it will be customized and takes a long time), I will have the scissor door instead.

Well, Renn208, you need to realize that nobody is doing it, so a lot of ideal choices will be twisted when actually applying to the reality.
