Press Release) Brute Look – Mercedes Benz SL R230 from PP
Exclusive
Deep, wide and loud are three characteristics that belong to the
real roots of the tuning scene and that are indispensable as a
foundation for all tuning work. It doesn’t matter what trend is hot
at the moment: good tuning modifications have to be deep, wide and
loud. That’s just the way it has to be!
PP Exclusive presents you with the perfect example of deep and wide
car tuning work. For width, the tuners have built in the Majestic
wheel rim, which has just passed all the TüV inspections with flying
colours so making it available from early 2012 in sizes of 20 to 23
inches. On the SL the front wheels are size 11x20 inch (with 3.5
inch outer rims) and the back wheels are a gigantic 13x20 inch (5
inch outer rim). This combination is fitted with Dunlop tyres of
sizes 255/30R20 and 305/25R20. Of course, with this wheel and tyre
combination, the wheel arches also had to be extended – we’ve used
sheet metal to widen them 25 mm up front and 55 mm at the back, on
both sides.
Together with the capacity to lower the vehicle by up to 100 mm by means of an electronic module, the PP Exclusive SL takes on a truly brutal wedge-like form. To explain how this little gadget works on the side: The vehicle is lowered by controls on the steering wheel and the current height status can be seen at any time by accessing it on the instrument panel. To achieve a nice, rich, loud sound from the rear end of the SL, the tuners from Baden-Wuerttemberg built in an exhaust system made entirely of stainless steel starting right at the catalytic converter and having four oval-shaped exhaust pipes. On request, this sporting exhaust system is also available in a ‘civil’ version.
But it doesn’t stop
there; a lot of work has been done in the interior too. The driver
and passenger seats have been finished in white Napa leather with
black stitching. The timber parts of the dashboard panel too now
gleam in the colour of the vehicle, and in contrast, the sun visors
and the roof interior have been finished in black Alcantara. The SL
steering wheel has received a smaller rim, and is now formed
straight instead of curved at the bottom. As well as being finished
with Alcantara, the rest of the steering wheel has been lacquered in
white, except for the star which has been retained in black.
Back to the roots! At PP Exclusive we remember the classic values
and qualities of tuning and the result is simply breathtakingly
beautiful. In addition, the tuning-genes of engineer Gerd Mueller
are experiencing an honourable renaissance here at PP Exclusive!
Also available from PP

light-alloy wheel that is immediately deliverable in 20 inch sizes
