No body work but a little Photoshop work. I wish it was that easy to get rid of those orange lenses.

They don't really bother me but I would prefer them not being there. Just interferes with the lines and flow of the design. They have become the subject of all the MB forums on this site at one time or another.

its a stupid US law requiring orange side markers.

so unnatural especially for someone like me who saw a lot of nicely tuned european cars.

This is my toy,, its one of the first but loaded and low miles.







It had the alli trim, but that looked cheap, so I bought a walnut set including the steering wheel and re finished in piano black

I love the car. Handles beautifully and is pure pleasure to get behind the wheel. Just a perfect match of all the components.

I have about 3600 miles on it now... no issues at all.

Jack your putting some miles on the SL. I bought mine last January and now have 6700, but I doubt I will be putting many more miles on until spring. Enjoy that nice weather you have in Nevada.
