i recently acquired a sl500, amg or so it seems
it has the larger brakes
silver amg gauges
amg body kit (sport package bumpers, side skirts, etc
amg wheels
amg exhaust
amg taillights
amg headlights (hid projectors)
amg suspension
emg engine covers
amg special edition badges, interior and exterior
except...

the dealer has no listing as it being an amg. the brakes i bought are too small, all the way around. it has the larger amg package, but not big enough to be sl600's.
can anyone advise?

thanks!

Check the VIN number on this site http://old.mbclub.ru/mb/vin/?lng=eng

This will give you the original specification.

If memory serves me right, and ive been R129ing for a while, unless you are in the UK or not America, there was NO AMG 129 FROM THE FACTROY in the SL500 form (SL60 and SL73 were the only 129 amg's) i.e when AMG plays with a car, they usually remove the last Zero or change the displacement
you might have a mut amg, see if it has Silver Arrow brakes on it, i know thats a common brake upgrade on 129s'


Just my .02

I thought that the R129 was sold with an AMG appearance package in 2001. Not real AMG but made to look so. It may apply to other years as well possibly. What year is yours?

1995. everything is amg. you name it it has it.

2000 SL500 With Designo Pkg and partial SL1 & SL2 pkg...Startac Phone, AMG Thin Spoke Monoblock offset 18's with performance tires, Heated Seats, CD Changer, Foglamps, Two Toned Nappa Leather, Carbon Fiber Interior Trim and special Black Diamond Metalflake Paint.
According to the "OPTIONS & PRICE BROCURE" There was no AMG option package for the SL500 & SL600 in 2000.

If it helps at all, i have a 2001 SL500 and what is listed below is straight from Mercedes Benz based on my VIN #.

SL500R
744 Brilliant Silver
231 Black Nappa Leather
160 SL2 Package
038: Integrated 6 Disc CD Changer
612: Xenon Headlamps w/o wipers
873: Heated Front Seats
731 Burl Walnut Wood Trim
740 Black Soft Top

My car also has the StarTac phone, AMG Rims, 18" performance tires, CD changer, foglamps. etc. It appears that the only difference in our cars, other than the year, is you have the carbon fiber interior whereas I have the wood trim. Adding the SL2 package, I believe, is what is also commonly referred to as the "AMG Appearance Package". It's not true AMG but just made to look a little bit like it. Hope that helps. Good luck!

Does your car have perforated leather or nappa?

HamMan

I am not sure what to call what I have.

614 Java Exclusive Leather

After looking at this enclosed picture please let me know what I have.

Auraraptor

Interesting, I am not sure...how are you checking the build specs/obtaining the option codes on your cars btw?

HamMan

See attachment of Invoice.

My mistake, 514 not 614


Also from the Russian site:

Interior
leather exclusive java (514)

Do you happen to know the changes between 2000 and 2001 SL600s? I really want to get a 2000!

AMS Performance

There were a few SL55s, SL60s & SL73s from AMG but the numbers are so incredibly small that the odds of you having one are almost nill. If I'm not mistaken only 5 SL73s exist today and benz probably only did it b/c it was basically a test bench for the Pagani Zonda (basically same exact spec motor).

Hope that helps

I am not the one to ask about different model years.

I have never regreted having a V12 !

Auraraptor

Do you have anything available for the R129 SL600.
