Thanks! I kinda like the orange oem look. Goes well with the carbon ceramic calipers. 😎 I see a lot of aftermarket clear ones available.

2004 SL55 AMG
My neverending work in progress, 04 SL55. Figured I'd finally share some pics


Back in 2014 when my father first purchased this car. He passed away January 2019 and I inherited it.

February 2021, totaled by me. Luckily no real frame or structural damage

Bought back from insurance and rebuilt at a friend's house, about 6 months later, after the accident.





Test fitting some new 20" AMG wheels for next season. Much more to do, going back in for full paint in Feb/March

Shoot, get help on this forum. Your license plate says Hamburg. Must be knowledgeable folks around there as well...

If you like to do things yourself, you can look into purchasing the Mercedes Star Diagnostic System (SDS). A package deal will come with a laptop that connects to the SDS multiplexer which then connects to the cars ODB2 port under the dash. This can scan for all error codes and clear them and allow you to do a lot of repairs yourself.

Otherwise look in here and find if someone can vouch for a good mechanic in your area who is truthful, reliable and prices things fairly.
I guess you know that these are not the regular everyday vehicles that only costs a few dollars here and there to keep running, but a big computer with four wheels that looks fantastic and goes fast with luxury touches!
