Just got my first SL55 and must say I might actually keep this one. Got the car last Saturday and didn't want to post pictures till I was done personalizing it. In the last week I've put on 20" wheels, added a single slat grill, tinted the windows, lowered with links, removed the resonators, put on a trunk spoiler, and wrapped the interior trim in DI-NOC Carbon Fiber. I think I may be done for now. Look forward to contributing here.

Get it paint corrected and then Xpel Ultimate shielding (at least the front of the car) and you should be golden...

Duckman748 · 04-27-2012, 04:10 PM

Your car looks great. Your links you used, did you have it aligned? The rear wheels look nice in straight, Camber I'm talking about. I used Ghost links and I can't find anyone that can align it because of the rear camber being so far out. Help

Welcome and the car looks great! Where did you order your spoiler from? How was the paint match and fit/finish?

I haven't had it aligned yet. Was at MB yesterday but their aligner was down. Will take it to my indi shop and have it done. The rears definitely have negative camber and from what I have read that cant be adjusted. I'll let you know if I'm successful.

I got the spoiler off ebay. The paint is perfect and I had the spoiler in 3 days. I sent you a PM with the seller's link.

Congrats and welcome!!!

Monky · 04-30-2012, 02:14 PM

All that in a week hats off sir looks much better than stock! Not a fan of the wheels but each to their own and all.

Next on the list hmmm, what about a front lip spoiler colour coded like your rear one? Apart from that asthetics are done, next comes performance mods if your into that sort of thing?

Keep us posted :-)

That's a beautiful ride. Welcome to the club & forum. Lot's of smart guys here and I'm not referring to myself.

My best mod has been the 'Benz-O-Rama' muffler delete mod.
