I am not good with technology - so I took delivery of a Selenite grey SL63 yesterday and was thinking of doing something like this, of course without the words/lettering and would like to get your honest opinions please!

You'd definitely stand out.

^^ Not a fan of the small accents front and rear but love the stripes. Did something like that on my GTR.

Since you asked...my subjective take.
I don't think this looks good on a SL. Any stripes or colored stripes on diffuser, etc. I feel Manhart cars look tacky. Gives me the 80's Black/Gold JPS vibe.

GTR or GTR Pro seem better suited to handle stripes.
We did have an E63s Edition1 which had a similar side stripe as the Manhart. I was going to remove it but it was more subtle and we left it as-is. It worked for the Black magno but even this look wouldn't right on the design of the SL.

Tacky, removing or leaving the lettering would make little difference. Might as well leave on and go for broke.

Its not bad, but I'm not into the large amount of gold accents everywhere, I feel like you could possibly reduce it to just the stripe.

A big "Thank You" to all of you for your thoughts and advise and I have decided not to down this route.

I have to agree that what looks great and appropriate on a GTR does not necessarily look great on an SL. I am going to enjoy the vehicle the way it is.

Thanks again!
