What model of Mercedes is this!?

[rigred]

Hi guys, I was wondering what model of Mercedes is this:



*click the image to enlarge it*

I am going to try to replicate this vehical. So any and all information you can tell me about it would be great (model, body kit name, rims, etc...). This will be the prelim information I bring to a detailer.

Thanks!

SL-Class

To be precise, an R230 SL.

The rims look similar to MAE, but I'm not sure.

The bodykit is new to me.

I was browsing online, trying to see how much they cost and am having trouble. I looked at autotrader.com and couldn't find any SL R230's. Another site I searched had SLK 230's but, being new to Mercedes I dont know if that is the same thing or not.

Do you think you could post an imae of an R230 SL or give me a link to a dealership that sells them!?

rigred,

R230 is the code for the new shape Mercedes SL, from 2002 on : you get a 350 SL, 500 SL, and a couple bigger models like the AMG 55 SL, and 600. All have the same body shape etc, just some extra features as they get bigger plus a lot more expensive.

So search for 350SL or 500SL etc. Prices used probably start around £38k, but mostly £40+.

Not sure on the bodykit, possibly a once-off custom job, or a computer model rendering.

Good luck

I guessed a CLK with an SL bodykit....

Alright, I will look into them. I will be able to find a detailer who will be able to re-create the body-kit from the image. Of course, since it will be a custom job I will have it altered slightly to more perfectly fit my 'personalty' (as I believe that when building a vehical, we all put a little bit of ourselves into it).

A CLK with an SL body kit? oof. How do you see that? What model of CLK?
