Some call it a contemporary take on a classic shape, others may deride the lack of originality. But at least it&#8217;s consistent. Which is a heck of a lot more than we can say for what MEC Design has done to it.<\/p>\n<p>The Berlin-based tuner has been dreaming up how it could butcher the gullwing&#8217;s lines, and from the looks of things, they&#8217;ve done a bang-up job. First thing you notice is the nose &#8211; you could hardly miss it &#8211; that apparently attempts to bring the preceding SLR McLaren&#8217;s F1-inspired treatment back. But MEC hasn&#8217;t stopped there. The full aero kit includes side skirts with integrated exterior lighting. The rear end fits in a spoiler, chrome tailpipes and a new diffuser. There are comically oversized and blinged-out rims. And they&#8217;ve theoretically fitted a carbon and Alcantara steering wheel. <\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s where the sigh of relief comes in. Thankfully, MEC Design hasn&#8217;t actually gotten its hands on an actual SLS to perform these mods. And for the sake of everything we hold dear, we hope they never do.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/mec-design-mercedes-benz-sls-amg\/low\/\">MEC Design Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/mec-design-mercedes-benz-sls-amg\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/8494685_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/mec-design-mercedes-benz-sls-amg\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/4819803_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/mec-design-mercedes-benz-sls-amg\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/2825142_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mecdesign.de\/\">MEC Design<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/11\/25\/gah-mec-design-fantasizes-over-tuned-mercedes-sls-amg\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>Gah!
