black RADENERGIE R10 wheels, front clear turn signals, & AMG taillights

now all i need to do is put my EISENMANN race quad 4x83 mm on next week and get those fins and front grills painted black.

CY

I going to be brutally honest about my opinion of your SL:









That shiznit is HARD

Make sure you post an audio/video clip once the exhaust is installed ... and where did you get those cleared side markers?

jbigelow

thanx for the praise CY.

it's taking me a while to choose and afford these mods.

i will try to get an audio/video post when i get the exhaust installed.

i got the clear side markers from EBAY.

here is a link to the sellers store:

the sl55 front clear turn signals will work with all sl r230 models. it also comes with the yellow bulb.

good luck in modding,

Very Nice!

Thinking of buying them from eBay... how difficult is it to install these? Are they just "pop out - pop in" or do I have to remove something from the bumper to get to them?

Thanks in advance for the info...

you have to use a screwdriver underneath the lens, be careful to put a towel under it so it doesn't scratch the paint, and pull up and outward. POP

twist the light to get to bulb out of lens, and put new amber bulb in, and twist new clear lens in.

hope this helps.

My clear side reflectors were delivered about 2 days ago ... just installed them tonight, looks sweet!

I think the euro-lorinser side strips are the best choice imho.. i've seen the clear reflectors and they are.. okay.. but look a little "ricey" imho.

Just pops out with a screwdriver and comes from lorinser already painted. (Below is a small pic of them on my car in my signature)

CY

I dont know those clear ones look pretty damn good....maybe on black hey would look too bold though.

Mrdredd

btw i didnt install the orange bulbs with mine, i dont think i liked it with the orange.

Mrdredd

what side strips? can you show me a better picture? I dont understand

bari

Isn't amber required on side lights by law? Just curious...

Yeah but it's not really enforced

Car looks great, btw!

pix of your car MRDREDD & pix of the LORINSER side strips seattlecarfreak.

i chose the clear lens on white because it was close to white instead of getting the EURO bumper strips.

i think the clear lens looks good on either the white or silver cars the best.

attached below are the prepainted euro/lorinser front bumper replacements.. they come prepainted in your car color for $300 for the pair. just snap stock ones off with a screwdriver and snap the new ones in.. on the euro these are stock.

sorry for the horrible resolution, camera phone :>

jbigelow

looks good bro!!!!!!

i was gonna go your route first, but the clear lenses looked ok on the white SL.

i would rather put the rest of the money on painting the fins and front grill gloss black to match the wheels and have the full white black exterior (except for the taillights of course )

i haven't had time to take the car to the bodyshop to get the fins and front grill painted black yet and this is my only car for the winter, my other ride for now is my yamaha R6 mototrcycle, and it's a little cold to ride to work sometimes. once they are painted, the exterior of my car will be done.

if i was as rich as you, i'd get the carbon fiber interior to replace that wood trim. then my interior would be done.

seattlecarfreak,

these are pix of my friend art's sl55 with the painted gloss black grill and fins. not white, but silver sl.
