They can't and do not want to be bothered mailing templates anywhere either.
However, they are willing to do make them for local customers. Sorry, I know
it is not much help to you.

SL600 Misha Designs wide body. Flexfuel-E85, limited slip, coil overs, sway bars, 750rwhp, 850rwtq
2004 SL600

They didn't have an SL65 this year, so I made my own using RennTech's Stage 1 engine mods (ECU, intercooler, pumps, carbon fiber airbox) which develop 625 RWHP and 745 RWTQ.
For the interior I added a RennTech carbon fibre steering wheel with paddle shift, RennTech Black dash plus AMG Black Series seats (imported from Germany) and Black Series carbon fiber shift gate and knob "USA One of 175"). The AMG mods on the exterior include 19" wheels, brakes, front and rear bumpers. Then I gave the face an uplift with a single fin front grill and added a carbon fiber spoiler to the rear deck. Tires are Michelin Pilot size 295/30 ZR19 on rear and 255/35 ZR19 front. All in all, this car gets a big .

Det skall jag göra. Jag har precis köpt den så nu håller jag på att gå igenom den. Har hittat ett problem. Höger bakre stötdämpare är fuktig i botten. Troligen ABC som läcker någonstans. Hedin Bil skall kolla på detta nästa vecka. Då skall dom göra en storservice på den plus lite extra som växelådsoljebyte mm. Sedan vet jag vad jag har att arbeta med. Bilen har ägds av 2 pensionärer i samma hus och har gått 6500 mil.

Also remember I can help you with OEM parts from Mercedes Germany much cheaper. And that is NOT advertising. Just offering help.
