I think your car is incredible, except the colour, but that's personnel.
I was told years ago that when you modify a car, you are doing for your
self, not to sell. There is a company that sells wide body cars usually high
mileage SL55 but they look superb, just like a BE. Favourite colours are
black, white, silver grey, not seen a baby blue. A usual price is between
20-30K, which I think is amazing considering how much has gone into
them. As far as re painting, this will cost 5 grand, so why not just knock off
5 grand, mind you, you might want to keep it if you saw it in Black or White.
Best of luck.

Car is now gone. Did a straight trade for a heavily modified 2005 Noble M12 GTO 3R. The guy ended up living just 2 miles from me. As I was stating before, the first person that sees car in person, and has a good trade or the means to buy it, will buy it! Thats what happened.
No way you are doing a full color change on an sl for $5k. $15k is alot closer for what I did to mine. Look at the numbers on the first page. They are not inflated at all. That is what it would take to build this car again, whatever color you personally chose.

Good trade in my opinion!!! Hope you go wild on this like you did the 55 and keep us posted on here. I looked into a Noble M600 before I picked up my 65, super cool cars. Change those wheels.

Hello everyone! This is an odd way to introduce myself but I am now the owner of the blue SL55 AMG in this thread. The car is currently pending sale to a gentleman in NY (waiting for title before we can proceed) but should that fall through this car will continue to be for sale or trade. Contact me with any questions, concerns, or offers if you think you'd like to own this work of art! Happy New Year!

The blue color was irrelevant in my decision. Hate all you want from behind your keyboard, your snide comment is unnecessary in a forum designed to share knowledge and bring people in the car community together.

So what's the story on the SL? It has a new owner, BUT sale is currently pending to someone else, BUT it is still for sale??
Never heard of a Noble car, looks cool though.

Nice trade, but liked your blue SL too as it stood out from the rest. Noble is nice too. Was looking at one they had at eurocar a few months ago. I thought you were into Modified Panteras? Mine is still waiting for you: https://www.flickr.com/photos/102810...7639222739254/

Where do you guys come from?? Hate? Hide behind my keyboard? Snide comment?? You're obviously way too sensitive, I am friends w/the seller we've talked countless times on the phn, I helped him source parts for this build & everybody else that needed/needs it. I share knowledge on everything I find out about these autos whenever I can..My comment had ZERO MALICIOUS intent it was meant to be funny note the LOL at the end of post.. You should try reading just 1-2 pages of this thread, instead of jumping to huge conclusions about me, you'll realize I'm not the bad guy here..

Are the wheel flairs modified larger? Just gorgeous man well done!! Hell I'd buy it right now if ONLY you could have it repainted sky-blue like OP's SL55

And if you've never heard of Noble there are several reviews done online, they're worth a read and a youtube search! Hopefully this makes my perspective clearer.

Alright everyone, the Lotus owner was too attached to his Evora to let it go ( I think we can all relate to that), so the Mercedes is available for sale or trade again. Thanks!

i recently sold my k20 turbo swapped elise, and couldnt wait to get rid of that thing. thing was faster than my first sexual experience, but was time to upgrade. so this overglorified v10 is holding me over for now.
bes tof luck with that sl55, thing is a beauty, and i love the blue
