2002 BMW 745Li Black/beige, 2006 SL600 Capri Blue/Black still on order
I really like your wheels. Mine were the AMG package wheels, but remember I ordered a 2005 model, but have a 2006 one coming...so we could be in for a surprise. Who really knows? Not even MBZ I suspect. Congrats!!!!

Jeeeeeez no matter how many times you can look at a SL, it looks ABSOLUTLEY beautiful in every single angle.
I don't think I've ever been in love with any other car. Same with a lot of us here, which is why, although the problems with the car, we still keep coming back! :x

Looks Great!

I recommend taking that wind screen off the rear roll bar, it can actually cause more damage to the parts it's attached to than do any practical good.

Should come off Easy
I never use it, it should come off easy, your manual should have simple instructions if you can't figure it out by looking at it. Mine is in a storage closet in the original bag it came in. I have read numerous posts over time in the forum about people complaining about damage it causes to the interior parts it is attached to.

Agree with Stephen about the wind screen. I had mine on for an afternoon two years ago, found it marked the leather around the roll bar and it's been in its bag ever since. The problem is that there are pressure points around the fixing straps which lead to indentations in the leather. It would have been much better if they had distributed the pressure with some pads. There's the exact same issue with the rear-shelf bag; its plastic feet leave indentations in the leather covering the rear storage box lids.
