It's cool and all...but maybe it's a little too wide?

It's an alternative to the SL65 Black Edition . All it needs is a Kleemann or Renntech blower. Besides, the SLK could benefit from wider tires.

look at it from the side. It literally looks like a toy. Flares are too big.

Beautiful! The wide body does not look out of place at all.. Baby SL65 Black Series! It is amazing how Mercedes can stuff a big v8 into this small car.
