In 2003, Mercedes came out with a brand new super grand tourer car that had been jointly developed with McLaren Automotive. The Brits created a light, track-focused chassis and the the Germans would fill it with 5.5 liters of supercharged awesomeness and the heavy luxury goodies, mostly borrowed from the SL-Class.
Most of them were built in an era before custom wheels and wrapping were popular, but the SLRs can still look modern and fresh today if you know the right customizer for the job.
This one was taken to the Tokyo tuners we know as Office-K, who then stripped it or its boring old turbine-design wheels and replaced them with Forgiato's F2.01 rims. They are sized 20-inch for the front and a slightly larger 21-inch at the rear for a more muscular stance.
Cosmetic changes to the body are limited to small add-ons, like the Godhand carbon front lip spoiler, Quick Silver exhaust and changes to the headlights. But you are instantly overwhelmed by the matte purple metallic wrap, something that looks totally foreign on this now classic car.
