The Bape General did it once again, this time on one of the most mind-blowing oldtimers of all time – Nigo put his Bape camouflage pattern on the Mercedes 300SL, along with all sorts of other types of customization, such as a custom AMG engine, wheels and more. This is one of the most beautiful cars ever built, thus we are not so sure it really needs the Bape camo make-over, but at least Nigo can be sure it’s a unique piece. Previously Nigo had put the camouflage on a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
More detailed images of the Mercedes 300 SL by Nigo follow after the jump.

This is horrible. He has ruined one of the most beautiful cars ever created.
That’s soooo ugly… turns my stomach!!!!
The antithesis of style!!
A car like that does not deserve this treatment. What a waste…
Nigo…..FAIL
Could not agree more – one of the most beautiful cars in the world – it is not supposed to be changed, it was perfect. Now look at this clown car!
GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not coor.
Talking about excesss… this is what happens when you have too much money, and don’t know what to do with it. I don’t know what’s worse this green monstrosity, or his Pink Camoed out Bugatti Veyron.
Nigo, Pharrel, Kanye need to realize why they will never be on a preffered buyers list with Luxury car makers, because of their lack of respect for their vehicles. Between doing donuts, and guady paint/body work like this, it’s all sacrilege.
I remember Pharrel hyping up his second hand purchased Ferrari Enzo, meanwhile preffered buyers like Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, Eric Clapton et al were driving theirs (and even invited to purchase an FXX, the Enzo race track only variant) before it was even a thought in Pharrels head, or even seen by the masses on the internet.
Im pretty sure this is a wrap(judging by its mat finish), which can be easily removed, so dont worry, the cars not ruined, the og paint is safely lying underneath.
And its not the first time amg has been asked to alter a 300sl in terms of engines and brakes etc.
this is hilarious and it hits so many buttons. he takes one of the most bullshit bourgie cars in the world and turns it into an even more jive ass whip. i\’m dying of laughter at the reactions. it\’s just a fucking car. get over it.

Well thankfully, this is probably one of those replicas based on a Corvette and made in LA. there is nothing beautiful about the wheels and the mention of the engine by AMG sort of reinforces that. Possibly even a German Mechatronik Replica.
There were onkly around 1500 gullwings built. today there are than 1500 people willing to shell out the $1million neccesary to own one. so i doubt if some low level fashionista would have the readies to buy the real deal anyway.
The real deal is pure metal sculpture on wheels and could never be improved on by this \’nigo\’ who ever they may be.
