Varaa... it's Connecting People .... LoooooooL!!!

That's the phone I've got ... I'm NOKIA all the way!!!!

I had an old SL which I bought from the States .. it came with a MOTOROLA ... I really hated it!

I specificly asked for the portable NOKIA .... I'm not into MOTOROLA!

I have it on my X5 and I hate it!!!! I wish they could find a way to change the phone system on my X5



Juke-box... ask me anything about the exterior or interior of the car... Just incase you forgot, I'm a female, meaning I don't understand the Man's world of engines, so if you could kindly ask me again what your question is about the mods? what's mods? What tuned... I don't get it! BTW, speeding could lead to death... just like cigerettes.... :\

I'm gonna go try to take more pics now ...

SL55 AMG
Well, it's certainly an interesting combination and proof that the only difference between a stock 500 and a 55 is what bits they choose to put on it on the line. All the parts are completely interchangeable.

Looks to me like this is a stock 500 with AMG body kit, wheels, exhaust, aluminium trim and AMG door sills. What it doesn't have is the AMG steering wheel with manual shift buttons, AMG seats and AMG instruments plus of course the AMG brakes and engine.

Interesting car though, first time I've seen the blue interior. It's a much lighter blue than it appears in the UK brochure where it looks to be about the same as the exterior Tansanite Blue.

Red face Best place in the world????????

"YAWNING!" I don't think so............


But it's better than most other places al7amdilla ...

Anyway, the exterior colour is Tellurinium Silver ... UK! Diamond Silver ... USA!

I'm happy it turned out to be like this ... and about the steering wheel, you can't have the wood trim on the steering wheel of an SL55 ... so that's one of my reasons I choose the 500 over the 55 ... the only reason I liked the 55 was because of the interior and exterior ... and not the engine .. I wish you all the best luck with your car and hopefully it'll arrive sooner than you think

I'll try to go out in the morning so I can take a clear picture of the colors!

interesting...

the first question i want to ask is where are you located?

if it's outside of US...quad exaust can be ordered through the dealer as part of the AMG sport pkg. In another words, it is a SL500 with sport pkg that has the option of having the quad-exaust. No idea where that AMG badge came from though. if it came with the car, it came with the car. no big deal. but it's definitely not an AMG.

NICE CAR anyway. i wouldn't mind having it if it's me.

No, I believe that's the original (or old) V phone, not V60. The V60 is newer and has the caller ID display on the front. Also, I think the V phone in the pic is only analog, whereas the V60 comes in digital. I'm talking about the phones in the US, by the way.

Do the SL 500s come with the alcantara (suede-like) headliner too? I saw a SL 55 and it had the alcantara like the big 600s. Also, they had the top of the speedo and RPM gauges covered in alcantara.

No, the SL500's have the vinyl plastic crap headliner. Part of the dash is covered in leather tho, which is a good thing.

The headliner on the SL500 is certainly the weakest point of the interior. Options to improve it are to have the alcantara headliner (standard on the US SL55 AMG) or the exclusive nappa leather which gives you a light grey leather headliner to match that on the A pillars or else have the panoramic roof.

the headliner is the weakest point in ANY MB. Wait till you see my 32. also, the seatbelt knockle cover on the B-pillar is the most plastic crap i've seen out of any car (well, the stereo cover on S2000 is on the same crap level).

Any of the options I suggested provide an improvement, so the choice is yours. I'm really pleased with the leather on mine....
