Do the flares from the 300SL work on the new SL?

  1. Yes, the chrome ones look best

  2. Yes, the black (body colored) ones look best

  3. No, stock looks better

    Miss! The bulges need to be on the same plane in order for them to look good.

    The SLR uses that idea. I'd have a see a photoshop to make a decision, though. I'm not sure I'm seeing it the right way in my head.

    Edit: Those 3 pics of the black SL look the same to me. :confused: Nevermind, I thought you were talking about the front fender vents and not the actual fender flares. They look ugly imo.

    yeah, that's a big difference - the 300SL has a nicely horizontal orientation, whereas the swept up curve of the 600SL makes it have 3 lines across the body instead of one.

    Looks like something you'd see in South Dallas - only the gold wheels are missing. Sorry . . . . .
