if anyone wants to post their car up go ahead....just want everyone to see each others rides

 

I'll post some.. i wonder if we can get a mod to sticky this.

 

here's mine:

 

SQL I think u have a typo is not that car a 2003

 

In Europe the new SL's came out as 2002's. Looks like SQL's SL is in Poland (license plate country ID PL)...

Nice car

Here's our SL55...

Unfortunately, with snow tires I know summer will come, but I am itching to drop the top.

Don't know how you guys keep your cars so clean. One drive in mine in the winter weather and it's filthy. BTW, is anyone picking up stone chips?

 

that's right, it is in Poland because i live in Poland, funny thing is that it is the first new SL sold in my country. If you want to see some more pics of the SL and RS4 you can visit the gallery at www.track-challenge.com

btw what does it mean that my car has a "typo"??

Maciek

 

I thought that your car was a 2003, and not a 2002 like u have posted. I was unaware that the car was released as a 2002 in Europe. A typo refers to a typograpical error.

 

Wolfman, thanks, your car looks great too, and it's a bit more powerful than mine, that's what i heared.

Well it's interesting which car would be faster for 1/4 mile - your SL55 or my RS4...

One thing that i think shouldn't be put on SL are those orange lights on the sides of the bumpers there in the US. We don't have those here in Europe.

oops, sorry i didn't get that, but now i know what does it mean. the power of the internet is enormous!

Maciek

 

i see that black exterior colour is the most popular one

 

the secret is quite simple... just try to take photos of the car right after cleaning

that's my method

It appears that most of the SL's are black w Charcoal. Personally, I hate the Charcoal two tone because the light grey looks cheesy. For some reason, the charcoal that Mb uses in the SL looks way different from the charcoal that they use in the S class, but they insist on using the same name.

 

i love black cars

btw: i wash and wax my car every week

actually my dads car.. three more days till i'm fifteen!

 

It's unnecessary to wax a car that frequently. All you will end up doing is building layers on top of layers of wax. Eventually, your paint finish will look cloudy. Also, you are increasing the rate at which swirls will appear.

 

thats what alboston has been telling me also.. i think i'm going to have to stop waxing and reduce it to monthly..

 

Same here

Regarding the stone chips, where we live it is absolutely certain to get them. Quite a pain especially on black cars

Wolfman

 

I guess color choices are always a matter of taste. Btw. the black/charcoal is different on the AMG interior (darker) than the standard SL.

I personally like the Java interior, I guess it's called Stone?, but it was not available on the SL55
Ridiculous sales strategy from Mercedes here; you can buy a $123K car and have four interior colors, one color on the steering wheel and two questionable designo packages. Idiotic, given that every AMG is build to order and not for inventory anyway...

While I like the light interiors, they are very sensitive to dirt. I remember driving the old SL (triple black) with the top down and it was like a vacuum cleaner. Dust and road dirt on the dash, seats and the softtop cover.
A dark interior just is easier to clean and makes more sense.

My 2 cents...

Wolfman

 

i like dark interiors for tehs ame reason.. easier to clean because you know where there is dust/dirt and what not.

 

thanks guys i wanted to see every1s rides
