SL 500 tuning
Ok I will admit it. This is the first time I have seen or posted on these forums.
But since I found it I have a few questions. I own a SL 500 with amg sport kit. The exterior is peuter while the interior is charcoal. Here come the questions.
1. What are my options on interior trim, to be honest I had the light color of the wood in the car. I was thinking brushed aluminum but I haven't seen any pics.
2. Taillights. What are my option instead of the red things on the back of my car? Looked at the SL 55 but wasn't sure if they would look good on peuter. Pics would be nice
3. Front grilles. What are my options?
Thanks for any replies. I'm glad I found these forums.

the sport kit is just that; it is not meant to replicate an SL55.
The SL55 taillights are slightly different (darker LCD display), and are not available on the regular SL. Ditto part of the grill... and definitely ditto the seats and engine.
As to interior trim; the aluminum vs. wood choice is strictly for the SL 55; has nothing to do with the SL500, and thus isn't offered.
The SL500 with a sports package is a nice combination, but it's not an SL55, and isn't meant to be. It is fine as is intended.
enjoy!

sorry... meant LED lights, not LCD.
By the way, your color combination is terrific, easier to keep clean than mine... enjoy it as an SL500 with one of the best trim setups
