My new (to me) 05 SL500. Upgrades include clear side marker lights, painted calipers (waiting on MB decal), single fin black grill, and painted smoke strip into tail lights to break up all that red. Will tint windows - no chrome rims for now...

I decided to add rim edge protectors to my wheels in addition to the red center caps until I trade my alloys for chrome. Or should I just keep them the way they are? Opinions?

It's a subjective thing, but on that car - I like the rim protector...

Very nice, I don't agree with the badging of using the v12 bi-turbo on a v8, but it looks clean.

It also looks like you used spacers for wheel hub extension?

Clean look. Enjoy!
