I replaced my SL55 with a '04 SL600 with the Renntech level 1 ECU/TCU. Personally I find the SL600 a much more refined beast over the SL55. The ride is much more forgiving and the power is just amazing! The seats and wood steering wheel are a nice touch as well.

This car has the Pano roof, keyless go, voice, and AMG sport package.

So far so good, I have put 1,300 miles on it so far!











Take care! Glad to be back in another R230.

Love it all except for the "V12" on the back which was probably done by the other owner. How about a "renntech" emblem instead? Love the color and 65 wheels as well.

leloz

Thanks!

The only things I have done to the car myself are the wheels and a good detailing.

I love it so far!

Where can I get a Renntech emblem?

Congrats!
Theres nothing wrong with putting V12 badges, but please indicate the biturbo as well!

very nice car, time for the SL55 tail lights upgrade

I luv it! I've been slowly modding my 2005 SL600 (Got her 3 months ago) and really struggling w/wheel selection, are those real AMG 65 whls or reps you had painted? either way they look hawttt, I'm deff slappin my BiTurbo badges on the front fenders too!

1 Suggestion you should paint ALL your badges to match the AMG65 wheel color, it'll set it off!!

leloz

Thanks! All very great ideas, much appreciated!

Yo, I guess you missed my question: Are those real SL65 wheels? or replicas? thank you...

leloz

Sorry! They are replicas. I wanted 20 inch and the OEMs only come in 19 inch.

did u lower the car ??? or do those 20z make it seem lowerd ...

Thericker

Excellent, that's what I thought any tips on what color code to refer my bodyshop to use? also did you snag'em off Ebay? if yes do you have a link so I can buy some too? thank you so much!! My SL600 is black '05 just like yours & I can't get over how sharp this combo looks

leloz

Thanks! I have received many compliments so far, it really changed the look. Now I am debating putting on SL55 tails or just getting mine tinted so the whole tail is smoked.

I did not lower the car, it must look lower with the set. I bought the wheel and tire combo from www.tirerack.com

They made it easy because they wheels were already gunmetal with the polished lip, mounted & balanced with Bridgestones and the TPMS installed.

The only thing I had to do was take the car to the dealer and have the set put on. I used my OEM painted centercaps, but you could get solid color caps if you like.

Good to see another Hampton Roads member on the forums new whip looks good

Thericker

Excellent thanx for the link! freakin' great price!

leloz

Thanks! I think I paid around $2,500 shipped, all new wheels, tires, TPMS, and mounted/balanced. Can't beat that deal anywhere!


Any Hampton Roads Mercedes clubs?

Looking great. Next up: SL55 lights (LED) rather than smoked, SL55 3rd brake light (smoked) and the SL55 dual tip exhaust. To do the exhaust right you need the AMG rear skirt. Adds up but updates it and well worth it IMO. I did them in that order and it looks like a different car. Looks like you already have the sport? package with the AMG style front bumper and the AMG style side skirts. Just have to part with the ECU for a week sometime.

leloz

Sounds like a plan. Do you have any pictures of yours?

Mine does have the sport package, Pano, and Keyless Go.

Thanks!

This looks like your car!
Are you selling already??

leloz

Yes, I just bought a 2005 SL65 from a eBay dealer on a whim, so the SL600 has to go

derrick_lui

wow, you wont miss your 600...Congrats on the 65!
Post pics when you get a chance and good luck on the sale

leloz

Thanks! I hope I can get some of my money back with the SL600.

The SL65 prices came down so fast that I had to jump on it!

Thericker

Ist you stated here that your 20" replica AMG wheels cost you $2500 delivered/installed etc.. then on your Ebay add you say this
Guess install costs $2k where your from

Then you obviously added and are rocking FAKE AMG badges on fenders?

Yet you state here you only added...Per your Ebay add...This Question above where you ask obviously shows your blatant LYING! If you honestly purchased RENNtech ECU/TCU they'd have given & installed the correct RENNtech badging for you! Damn what a deuche!

BTW your FAKE badging is too low on the fenders & what gives w/lame tiny AMG badging? you obviously omitted that little secret from your original post/pix you can deff see it's on there now that I have a blown up pic to compare to your other far off shots...

You state here that you had RENNtech stg 1 ECU/TCU done to your 2004 SL600, yet in your add per Ebay you list nothing extra besides REPLICA wheels & FAKE AMG badges

Let me guess RENNtech ECU/TCU $6500 odd retail price.. Gave you your money back as it was liability to sell to future buyer? NOT!

And your add also states.....Then further down your Ebay add you state....God I feel sorry for the new owner, who the hell knows what branded title history this 600tt has in the closet?

Or (b) you had to return it to stock for smog etc..

leloz

I can email you a copy of the carfax and fax you a copy of the title

If you have any questions or issues, PM me and I will give you my number. I will happy to clarify any details or issues you are coming up with.

I am glad you have the time for such a long post!

FYI, Eurosport in Virginia Beach flashed the stock program back and are giving me credit for the upcoming tune on the SL65.

Take care!

It was quite fun exposing your multiple lies
