New 500 SL R129 owner from Uruguay

Hello everyone!

Cheers from Uruguay. :)

Today I get my new 500 SL. I buy this car on Germany and imported to Uruguay.

Only have some pictures from port to home travel, so is dirty and has some damage due to poor bad handling....:mad: Some id**ot run his truck over my 500sl...:mad:

As you can see in the second picture the front bumper hook cover is missing. Should I get it on ebay?

So, as I am new on this car. What should I look at?, what should I be careful about?

Thanks
Regards
Sebastián

Hello everyone!

This are some pictures I want to share with you.
Is when I bought the car on Germany.

What do you think???

I will try my best to give it a good wash and bring him shine again.

Now I have some issues whit the car. It has a coolant leak on the back of the engine. I think it can be heating radiator pipes or gearbox coolant hoses.

I am waitin for my workshop to find the problem....

Has any of you have the same problem after a few month of the car parked?

Regards

Sebastian: Your car looks very neat and I'm sure you will be enjoying it for a long time... these SL's seem to be indestructible! I own a beautiful silver 1999 SL600 and it is also, like you said, my toy!
The front part that is missing on your car is part #129 880 02 05
I know this because it once fell off of my car when the front air dam scraped over a tire-stop!. I think I paid about $124 for the new replacement which I never used because I found the original on the parking lot the next day... but I want to keep the new one as a spare for just in case I lose it again!
Enjoy your SL500 and best wishes! Guillermo

I lost the 129 880 02 05 cover on my '98 SL500... any chance you're ready to sell yours?
