Chris, really impressive work. Could you PM me with a final cost in parts and time for the SL65 project? As I am zeroing in on an SL I see the kinds of things I'd like and this will help me budget more completely. Thanks.

Since you are overseas it is a bit expensive in shipping to help out on the bilg parts like the hood,bumper and fenders..

Chris, great project results.

May I ask you, when you took apart the climate control, did you notice if the rest of the face of the climate controls could be taken apart?

(one of my bulbs behind the fan speed knob is out, wanted to take it apart to replace it)

Cheers and thanks in advance!

Removed the old ones and cleaned under them.



And here is the new ones in place. Huge difference.

Hey Chris, how did you remove this plastic piece/panel along the rear windows. And can these be purchased from MB dealership and come painted black already? TIA!

2008 SL600
Those are the same style wheels that were on my E55 when I bought it private party and wanted to pull them off and put them on my 2008 SL600 I just bought, but there was no tire sensors in them so it would have made the light go off for TPMS. What are those wheels called and where can I get some that will work on my SL600?!?!? I always liked them and would want to get some for this car.
