Widening body kit inspired by the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series

German tuner Prior Design has a wide-body kit for the Mercedes-Benz SL R230 facelift.

Inspired by the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series, Prior Design has come up with a kit to make a stealth, black monster out of the SL R230. The kit provides for an aggressive front fascia to the SL R230 - including a massive fender featuring a spoiler with integrated large air intakes.

But, of course, the central feature will be the body panels widening the wheel arches that give the car that ready-to-pounce crouched look. The widened body gets complimented by the rear finish which includes a rear bumper connecting the two rear arches and a rear diffuser available in full carbon.

PDI rims in 10x20 inch (265/30R20 tires) for the front and 12x20 inch (305/25R20 tires) for the rear wheels complete the shape-shifting tuning kit.

Prior Design also has available a lowering kit for the car, both mechanical and an electronic one that includes Airmatic.

PRIOR-DESIGN PD-SERIES (Basis Mercedes-Benz SL R230)

SL maximum - the PD-SERIES

Right in time for the industry trade fair Tuning World Bodensee, PRIOR design presented their latest creation - the PD-SERIES based on the Mercedes-Benz SL R230.

The self-set target of the Kamp-Lintfort company was making the "large" Mercedes-Benz roadster even more perfect. The PD-SERIES inspiration very clearly was the super sports car Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series. The result will excite every car enthusiast: Flowing lines, expressive curves, massive air inlets and muscular sides summarize the perfect PD-SERIES view.

Let us look at it in detail, starting with the front. This is where the superior width of the PD-SERIES hardly makes it possible for the viewer to avert his eyes from the overwhelming fenders. Still getting over the endorphin-filled moment surprise, the eye takes I the harmonious line flowing from the fender to the front area. Only few centimetres below the futuristic Facelift headlights, there is a front spoiler with large, greedy air inlets. The cowl with its many air inlets reaches up to the windshield supplying even high-performance motors with sufficient air.

The side area with its wide wheels is reminiscent of a muscular monster waiting to jump its prey. The side dills harmoniously connect the masculine sides to make the car look as if made from a single cast.

Going father around the vehicle, we can then see the rear, dominant due to the imposing wheel arches that make the SL seem impossibly wide. The large track of the PD-SERIES is connected by a perfectly rounded rear bumper from one wheel arch to the other, which in turn is equipped with a diffuser based on racing technology. It is available either as sight carbon or full carbon.

A specially developed wheel/tyre combination is available as a complete set in the following sizes:
Wheel rim PD1 (three-piece stainless steel outer bed, black finish), front axle 10x20 inch with 265/30R20, rear axle 12x20 inch with 305/25R20

Finally, Prior-Design makes it possible to lower the car mechanically as well as electronically (with integrated Airmatic). Using the above wheel/tyre combination, Prior-Design also recommends optimising the suspension tuning.

I dont like this whore like tacky-ons, the tuner has put on this car. but so rarely has there been a tuner that has actually made the a mercedes benz look better than stock form.This is cheap and tacky looking, but of course it wouldnt be Cheap to do this to your car if you had the money and absolutely no soul or taste.
