Prior Design has had another go at creating the most awesome R230 SL they could, probably their last one, since the new aluminum chassis R231 will soon make the legendary previous-generation roadster obsolete.
We’ve seen what they can do with the R230 in the past as well, but the new widebody kit also comes with better wheels and a fresh hood with fake vents and a bulge in the middle. In line with the recent trend, the paintjob has been changed to a Satin Metallic Grey, which might be a wrap with 7% metallic finish, though we’re not sure.

The body kit consists of a new hood, front bumper and rear one with an integrated diffuser, wider fenders, side skirts and a trunk spoiler. The wider fenders are there just so you can slap on a set of The car pictured is sitting on 20-inch DPE SPSC7 alloys in a seven double-spoke design.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
