Questionable modifications: pictures inside!

Environmentally friendly, need an oak spoiler and some varnish

That's the McLaren Special Operations one isn't it?

The SLR? No. MSO did not technically exist during the SLR-era.

This is a later modded car, EVO tested an orange roadster version

Personally I love it.

As found on Jalopnik...

It's a classic lowrider paint scheme, well 2, mixed in one.

 

[Beeblebrox237]

Personally I love it.

Me too, it makes the car look less massive and the colours are wonderful.

Doesn't change what you asked, though. That's not a MSO car. It's by Mansory.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Someone clearly progressed well in wood shop at the community college.

I digging the Camaro. It's something about the designs and the color theme on the car and it fits the Camaro. I'll gladly buy it. 👍

R34 fronts belong on R34s, much like S15 fronts don't belong on S13s or S14s.

In this case I think it looks horrendous, the R34 has a squared off kind of design, and the R33 is slightly rounder. No go.

Your opinion, and my opinion, are not the same. I think I speak on behalf of at least 20 other people when I say that I like the lower, smoother roofline on the R33. I hate the R34's roof.

Looks similar to the McLaren edition, so we can also shout at McLaren

 

[McLaren]

There is no McLaren edition though seeing as the SLR was primarily built by McLaren. Thats nothing more than an aftermarket kit. MSO didnt come until the MP4-12C.

It was actually around for longer, but it was mainly a repair service. And as said, it is a later model done by MSO in 2010(ish)

As for the car itself

"McLaren Edition Mercedes SLR" is its official title, and there is a review above.

I just found this monstrosity:

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

WTF?! Now there's jags being converted into Replica astons? Has the world gone insane?

It sorta makes sense if done right.

And it's the DB7, as Ian Callum designed both.

I'm aware of that. I kinda rather buy the real aston though rather than do a conversion.

1st: The original car on the last page that you asked about still isnt by MSO; its by Mansory.

2nd: From the sound of the article, its a kit they offer for the 722S since it says its a conversion & not an actual car they sold. I also dont see where it says this particular kit was available in 2010 since author poises the question, "How does the car feel in 2013?"

On top of that, McLaren Edition Mercedes SLR McLaren (bc SLR McLaren is what that VIN will recognize the model as) is a silly name.

Your second point. It's not actually a car they sold...

So in other words. It's a Modification.

And if you look back, I said "It looks like one" later on from my comment, so...

And it is what it's "Sale" title is I believe, but they'll register it as something else- you don't call a LaFerrari an F150, or maybe you do. As the name is stupid.

It's actually listed as a DB9 replica, though to me it looks most like the old Vanquish, sans roof.

 

[spikeyhairdude]

I saw a really good replica of an Aston Martin last year. I couldn't believe that it was a replica.

 

[poolhaas]

We need more wing!

 

[The Stig Farmer]

We need more wing!

We need less carbon fibre!

 

[Downhill Dino]

I like the carbon fiber.... however the wing could have been executed better. I guess they still wanted their air-brake.

 

[Clark]

Is there anything more vulgar and tasteless as unprinted Carbon fibre? It ain't big and it ain't clever, it's just stupid as the treatment you need to cover unpainted CF in means it ends up heavier than painted CF.
