SL55 AMG
Don't get the AMG initial thing. Is that something you add as a dealer or ordered by the customer. What's the point?

Great car, of course, but black is not my favorite - it hides some of the curves of the car and is going to take so much looking after to stay looking like that. Me green with envy? Never!

the initial is no big deal... just the owners K with the AMG slash pattern under the AMG logo. We have a great painter that does our pinstriping and initials/logos etc. He did a great handpainted American flag and Dale Earnhardt #3 on my CE. I just like his work.

SL55 AMG
Do you regard dealer identification on a car as mandatory? Putting a sticker in the rear window is one thing, defacing the car's paintwork is another. I once withheld $10k until the dealer repainted the trunk lid after they painted their name on it.

blueSL,

Whoa.. much ado about nothing.

In the last pic i refer to the "AMG style initial", it is a painted K (the owners initial and his choice). We put NO stickers or decals on the car. The sticker you see in the window say's "wet pinstripes". The owner had the car striped and the K logo put on by our painter before he picked it up.

Tezta, we have 5 cars being produced for us this year, 2 are delivered

I didn't realize Brandywine motorcars was so big!

I just spec'd my SL 55 today at my dealer, Precision Cars of AC, which I am sure you are familiar with. I am #1 on their list and not receiving my car until March, and you guys are getting FIVE in and have already delivered TWO?
Damn!!!

CME,
Why don't you send me an e-mail with your name and info, b/c I have been considering switching dealers and was possibly interested in ordering a CL 55. How far back are you on orders on the CL 55?
