Karlsruhe-based styling specialist Graf Weckerle has released details of its program for the current Mercedes SL-Class.

Using a white 320 kW (435 hp) SL 500 as a base, Graf Weckerle has gone for a maritime theme by painting a Navy Blue coachline along the body, while the interior has been fully re-upholstered in the same colour leather with contrasting white stitching and piping. Embossed headrests and floor mats are a constant reminder of who carried out the work, while those crests on the seats have been created from 750 solid white gold and feature white enamelling detail.

As with the Graf Weckerle’s Audi R8, this SL-Class has been fitted with multi-piece wheels from its new Collection Sport range with colour-coded centres. Sized 9.0 and 10.5 x 20 inches, they come wrapped in 255/30 R and 295/25 R tyres and wear hand-enamelled centre caps bearing that familiar crest. A set of lowering springs completes the proceedings.
