Inden Design Styles-up Mercedes-Benz SL500 into SL65 AMG

We not sure if you'd be better off just buying a used pre-facelift SL65 AMG and get the whole package, but if you already own the SL500 of the same series and you insist on spicing up your car with an AMG bodykit plus a few more upgrades here and there, then Inden Design will happily do the job for you. The German firm's exterior package comprises of a full SL65 AMG bodykit with a front bumper and spoiler, rear bumper with a carbon fiber diffuser, side skirts, rear spoiler as well as rear lights.

Furthermore, the door handles, mudguards and front grille also painted black while the 20-inch alloy wheels in the same shade wrapped in 255/30 rubber up front and 305/25 at the back sum up the exterior mods.

The interior package includes carbon fiber decorative trim and an SL65 AMG Black Series flat-bottom steering wheel.

Finally, Inden Design also offers a suspension module that can adjust the ride height up to about 50mm, a sport exhaust system and an engine kit that raises output to 330HP or 282HP less than the standard 2007' SL65 AMG...

Old Skool Tuning: 1983 Mercedes-Benz 560SE with 386HP by Inden Design

Always had a thing for the Mercedes-Benz W126 (1979-1991) with its simple, uncluttered and yet amazingly elegant and timeless styling - a feat never again repeated by the luxury sedan's S Class successors, anyone disagree? This particular example you see pictured above, is a 1983 model modified by Germany's Inden Design in 1991. Being the company's first ever Mercedes product, Inden Design thought that it would be a cool idea to photograph the car and share with us a piece of its history.

The completely blacked out 1983 W126 was upgraded with the 1986 facelift model's bumpers and side covers and the US-spec model's headlamps and tail lights while there's also a sport exhaust system with dual pipes. The lowered suspension and the widened fenders that house 18-inch alloy wheels shod in 255/35 R18 tyres up front and (overly) massive 315/30 R18 tyres at the back, offer the W126 an even more aggressive stance.

The W126's interior, which is completely covered in black Nappa leather, boasts a set of König sport seats up front and special wood trim.

The classic Merc is powered by a 6.0-liter V8 engine from the 560SE producing over 368 horsepower while stopping power comes courtesy of an upgraded 6-piston sports brake system with 352 x 32mm discs from AP Racing.

Ferrari F430 Spider Tuned up by Inden Design

Moving on to its next project, German tuner Inden Design has presented a new sports package for the Ferrari F430 Spider. Performance-wise, changes are limited to a new stainless steel-made sport exhaust system and a reworked ECU that up the output of the 4.3-liter V8 engine to 525 HP, a 35 horsepower increase over the factory figure. The kit also includes a sport spring set that bring the F430 Spider a few millimeters closer to the ground as well as new 20-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 325/25 R20 high-performance tires.

In typical Inden Design fashion, the tuner dresses up the F430 Spider with a new bodykit that comprises of a new front spoiler, side-flaps and a carbon-fiber rear diffuser.

For the interior, the German tuning firm offers various upgrades including special leather trims for the dashboard, the center console, the door panels and the steering wheel covers.
