I finally got my car back today after about 2.5 weeks of "surgery". Front-end internals is as good as new, new lip and bumper, roof trim should be coming in next week along with my Affalterbach hood badge. And my body shop guy also installed the CF mirrors I picked up from Hs63amg



However, as soon as I took off, CEL came on with a fuel map code. I'm not sure if its just not happy that I haven't driven it in almost 3 weeks, but it surely can't be associated with the front-end repairs. MB WC doesn't have any AMG techs in until Monday so I guess I'll clear it and see if it's just a cycling thing.

Anyway, if I didn't stop in to the dealership today for this issue, I wouldn't have seen this sick SL65 Black Series. Apparently, the owner of Muscle Milk has good taste

He also tracks the car at Laguna because the tech showed me where the front lip scraped in the corkscrew!

Mirrors look great - better watch 'em like a hawk though.

SL65 Black.....What a beast.....it is my all time favourite.
Cheers, Pickles.

Yeah, that other thread made me nervous. I mean my car already got keyed.

That SL is probably the best looking Merc out there.

My dealer had a black one that sat for the longest time on the showroom floor, the better part of two years. Just from talking to them I gather that they would have taken a HUGE discount to move it.

The mirrors look so good!

have you been to the MB in Fairfield? Very nice dealership

CoolBDPhenom03

Really? I wonder why that was.

No, I haven't. I don't pass through Fairfield that often, but I'm sure biglee73 has. I started talking about exotic cars and my body shop guy said in Fresno, there are supercars aplenty. He's seen everything from Gumperts to Spykers.

I bought my car from the Fairfield dealership. Yes its a nice building and all, but I still have mixed thoughts about them.

CBDPH, can you please post some recent pictures of your car? Too much talk and never actual pics lol.

CoolBDPhenom03

Hah, you must not follow my posts.

Here's one from today, actually.

justdjames

Spykers !! I only seen 1 in WC .....

CoolBDPhenom03

Funny, the only one I've seen outside of a showroom was also in WC, but that was a couple of years ago. It was at the gas station on the corner of where I live, in fact.

hmmm there was a black series sl 65 at fletcherjones today too.

CoolBDPhenom03

For sale or for service?

vdubpower

was in service area, it was actually monday when i went to drop mine

they had 6 sls there today for sales, few maybachs

Fletcher Jones does have a very impressive inventory of AMG cars. But I guess that shouldn't be a surprise given their business size. Their sales told me they moved over a thousand cars last month.

CoolBDPhenom03

Damn. And what are the odds we'd both see SL65s today.

vdubpower

yeah it was eh no big deal. lol

yeah fj sold 2100 last month

Fletcher Jones is in my back yard in two states, but I remain totally underwhelmed with the dissonance between their advertising reputation and the actual experience that they deliver. When you strip away the glossy veneer IMO there's not that much substance.

That's a lot of SLS for sale. I have never even seen a SLS in person. One of these days...

Guilty

I love it. You need a shoot!!!!`

CoolBDPhenom03

I know. Been trying to get one together with other folks.

I've heard that MB went cheap on the SLS bumpers...one little tap and it shatters.

farhadahmad

ya those look great covers! and i want the new SL in few years used of course.

u got ur car keyed before.
I just had eggs thrown at my car on wednesday because i was lazy park it in the garage......

moosejaw
