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.

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

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...
