Hi all, just bought an SL55 and need input - is this an aftermarket front bumper? I thought it was an SL65 bumper, but the side vents in front of the wheels look different to me.. any help appreciated!


New to me SL55 - stock or aftermarket front bumper?

Johnnay, It looks like the "Safety Bumper" from an 07 or 08 SL65 or SL55 with the Performance Package (see my car above)

I did a bit of re arranging in the garage today. So I took the opportunity to take a picture of the AMG cars.

i bought her a year ago off guy who had spent more than what i paid, on new roof cylinders, struts, etc, and since then doubled in value, so i popped for the 20" rims, 9 and 10.5's, et25 and 28 respectively.

SL55 with the P30 option
My research so far tells me that out of the +/- (40) 07-08 cars that came with the P30 option this is the only one in "Agean Blue" that made it to the USA.

The right angle of the sun brings out the blue color

When the sun is not as bright the color is more blue-green

The Southern Stars MBCA had a photo shoot. She looks pretty good for being 17 years old.

17 years old and hit 130k Daily Driven Miles

I hit 130k miles last Saturday. After $26k in preventive maintenance the past 3 years - hoping to go for another 100k miles of automotive bliss!

Resealed my breather covers too and as you can see the motor (at least the head) has no visible wear and is super clean thanks to religious Mobil1 oil changes @ 5k miles.

The car has 12,500 miles on it. Just completed Schedule A service. The local MB dealer is AMAZED at the condition of this car.
