Default Kleeman SL55K

I am not especially feeling the color, but this car is SICK!!!

640 bhp @ 6400 rpm
656 lb-ft @ 2000-6500 rpm


look at how stretched the tires are though

That car is beautiful, but I think silver or black would have been a better color choice.

I like the car, but the wheel/tire combo is a bit too extreme for my taste.
That light coloured CF looks nice!!

Kleeman tends to make beautiful kits for the Benz's like the C, E and S-class. I think this SL 55K takes the cake...

Silver, Black, or Red would have been a better choice IMO.

I like the car, but not the ofset of the wheels, looks especially bad on the front. That's the last thing i need is a bowlegged AMG.
