'06 SL500
What's included in AMG Sport Package?

Hey guys, newbie not only to this forum but essentially to cars in general. Just got an '06 SL500 and now I am so glad I never bought that ring for my now ex-gf

Anyways, when I bought the car the salesman was telling me all these features which included the AMG Sports Package. After driving it home, I never even asked what it was...I have tried to google and search for similiar posts but still couldnt find the answer.

I know I have AMG wheels, but what else is different? I think it's suppose to have a different bumper?

Thx guys.

The wheels, front bumper, lower mesh grills, fog lights and side skirts are different.

I believe it comes with a 2-liter bottle of SPORT. You drink a little and splash your pits before jumping in the car and sportin' it up. Like the Sex Panther by Odeon cologne, "60% of the time it works, every time!"

Also, the SL just comes with different trim pieces like Lou said. It looks sportirifier. It just doesn't go any faster.

RE: AMG Package

On the 600 one also gets shifter paddle buttons on the back of the steering wheel, not sure if that applies to the 500 AMG package. See if your car has them, they are fun.
