I guess you really like silver cars 
Great pic! I might want to suggest putting some spacer on the SL wheels.
MB is now having very high offsets and the wheels don't really fill out the wheel wells of the SL. I did that on ours and it looks great even when not lowered.
Or get some different wheels...

we used to have 10mm front & 20mm rear but the rear is too aggressive if not lowered. I would go 5mm front & 10mm rear with stock height.
Re. pics I think there are some in this thread but here is a view with the 10/20mm spacers:

Very beautiful car Iridium, love the color combo! Was wondering did you have to do any modifications to change out from stock to the rear AMG diffuser and exhaust tips or was it as simple as bolt on? Also did you order the parts and have it done through MBZ dealership or at an after market shop?
Thank you.
Thank you.
In the Netherlands there is a MBZ dealership that can do these conversions.
My conversions and upgrades on my cars are done by an after market shop in the Netherlands speciallized in MB conversions and MB upgrades.

AMG pack rear bumper = AMG bumper. AMG diffuser and exhaust tips is a simple job.

Thank you! So you have the actual AMG bumper as well. That is the ticket.. without that I don't believe the AMG diffuser will work on a SL550 bumper without some modifications. I appreciate your quick response. Enjoy the ride.
I'm on my 3rd SL now: 2006 SL55, 2009 SL550 then traded that for a CLS550 and just last week got a CPO 2014 SL550. It's black with the porcelain interior. Not exactly my favorite color combo but where I live (Las Vegas) the CPO inventory is low so I had to either get one in California and deal with that hassle or get this and got a good deal at MBZ so made it work. I change out every year or two at the most so it will be fine.
I will likely do a resonator delete to improve the sound and leave the stock rear tips since I don't really want to change out the rear bumper.

Just saw your response. All US SL bumpers are AMG bumpers. All you need is the diffuser and the exhaust tips.
