R231 SL-Class (Not) Official Picture Thread
 

Isn't it time that R231 owners have their own picture thread?

I'll start with mine.

Very nice interior. Love the black And white. :bow:

thanks!

I love your silver/red, especially with those wheels and that red interior, I've not seen that interior with the steering wheel accents, very nice!

is that a 63 or 65? did you de badge it?

red stitching....very nice touch :)

Here are some pics of the current one (radar detector is hard wired now)

Our old one...

Why did you replace the R231 with a R231?
Prefered the white interior or for other reasons?

The SL with the red interior was totaled. The engine hydro-locked during a flash flood. We only had the car for 3 months or so.

I do like the Porcelain white/black a bit better but the main upgrade was ABC which I missed in the first one...

Porcelain designo white black is a great combination. I m still considering to have it retrofitted in my V221. I' m an idiot that I didn't order it from the factory.

I think my classic designo red is a bit brighter than in your old SL.

The Porcelain white/black combo is truly a beauty in the W221 and more so in the W222. I would pair that with the Black Poplar or Carbon fiber (not a fan of the piano black). Looks funky with burl walnut or other brown colors.
The retrofit would be quite pricey I assume.

I also think your red is brighter but I find that the color intensity varies quite a bit on light conditions. But it wasn't bright red. Here are two shots from another day.

Either way, the Edition 1 interior has much more red leather than the red/black nappa one I had (like the door handles and center armrests, and the stitching). The one thing I was surprised on your interior was they MB chose black speaker grills rather than red ones...

Some cabriotime this weekend in the Netherlands.

Looks nice !
Summer arrived in Belgium, however, my car is still not here ...

Believe me, it's worth the wait.

great shot!

New addition :)
 

Added a black S-Class to our iridium silver SL ;)

wow, nice, I love that light interior, its just out of this world

Wow Wolfman, nice car 'collection' you have !

We bought 2 new Benz's! My SL550 and the wife got a GLA250

Nice combo. Congrats!

I am sure you will find yourself driving the GLA while your wife grabbed the SL ;)

Take some more pics

Thanks! I wanted a light and airy interior given some of the bad weather we get here.

Looks like a restricted part of the airport. Or isn't it?

The ride height of your car is perfect! Everybody in the US on springs should order the Euro sport suspension springs and get them installed...
