I have that same interior color...absolutely love it. I was hesitant at first, but when I saw it in person I couldn't resist.

Depending on the lighting it goes from Grey to Silver. REALLY shows the lines of the car. It looks like a fine piece of art.

Thank you! I had the transmission software upgraded right away. Clear bra (matte) on nose and windshield early next month to start. No engine mods until warranty is up. You need to move closer

I printed this out https://mbworld.org/forums/sls-amg-g...ml#post5997017

and told them I had driven cars with this programming and, my car lagged when shifting.

Call Christian he will take care of you.

Nice,

actually yes, I am moving closer to LA ... sir.. in July. no joke.

nice you guys could have transmission upgrade,
our dealer here far away and sucks.

do the beautiful bonnet, cover it..
I did crack my windshield last time..
coincidently a friend of mine had cls63 and cracked as well.. now whole crew think AMG has weak windshield.
