The aftermarket world proves once again there are nearly no boundaries to what a team of skilled professionals can do with a car, regardless of its kind. But this time, we are not talking about just any car. It’s the Mercedes-Benz SL-Klasse (R230) that is brought to our attention thanks to the guys at Prior Design.

This is not the first time the German tuners have played with it. Inspired by the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series, a Widebody Styling Kit debuted in mid-2010 giving a widened, more aggressive stance to the model.

At that time, they used new fenders, facelift headlights, front spoiler with large air inlets, and a round rear bumper with integrated diffuser, accompanied by a lowering kit (mechanical or electronic - with integrated Airmatic).

Now, a year later, Prior Design turns their attention to the R230 again and adds a new front bumper, rear bumper, front fenders, front bonnet, side skirts, rear widenings, rear diffusor, rear trunk spoiler, front lip spoiler and last but not least, replacement windshield washer tank.

Rounding off the package are the Prior Design PD1 wheels (20×10 front and 20×12 rear with 275/30/20 tires in the front 305/25/20 tires on the rear).

According to Prior Design, the package is made to fit all R230 SL Models from 2003-present. Also, if you have a 2003-2008, this latest offering can be used to update your SL to the 2011 SL63 AMG Facelift Model and about 4-inch wider on each side.
