Very nice.

I have to ask - those wheels. Are they a factory option? I'm assuming they apply to the Sl500 and not the 55?

Congrats on the car!

Thanks... Bought it from HBL in Tysons Corner...and service there too...more

the wheels are standard on 2003 SL500. new SL55 has the 15spoke wheels as standard.

I know, I was just wondering if these were yet another wheel option.

That is quite a change from the CLK320 Cab. is it not? Any reason you did not opt for the SPort Pkg. or are you going to do an aftermarket kit instead? BTW, sweet car!!!

I'm not sure if I'm right in assuming this, but I would think you like Silver or am I missing something!!! LOL!!!!

Silver is THE color for the MB...specially SL...more

I am getting the Brabus body kit and wheels... Hopefully soon.

It is a big change from CLK320 Cab, but CLK can definitely hold its own. I still think CLK Cab is one of the best 4 seater Cabriolets out there.

Thanks guys...

I've still never owned a silver car or any other color car for that matter. I try to get away from black for a "change", but somehow I keep coming back to it. Oh well, guess I'm a black kinda guy.

2003 SL Launch Edition, 2003 E500 Pewter/Stone
Congratulations. No matter how many times we drive our Launch Edition, we remain in awe of it and its beauty. Two weeks ago we received our E500 and think it is terrific as well. MB is absolutely tops in the design of sedans, roadsters and coupes.

Have fun and enjoy.

Jeff
