My new SL63 AMG

It has taken some time but I have finally gotten around to uploading some photos of my SL63 AMG which has replaced my SL55 AMG.

I have recently added the AMG Performance Studio Carbon Fibre to the front bumper and rear difusser, decided not to go for the exterior mirrors and boot spoiler.

I will try and post some better shots when I have the chance!

Nice rides...

How do you compare the SL63 to the SL55?

hello, stupid question, what is that other MB you have in the garage? Looks like a station wagon but isn't the only wagon from MB the E? it doesn't look like an E... Doesn't look like an R... what is it? I thought it was a CL but the profile in the shadow looks lke a wagon? Very intersting? did you use some body kit?

Definitely a C63, but it appears to have rails on the roof so I'm guessing C63 estate (wagon).

Btw, congrats to the OP! Nice stable you have there.

front definitely looks like C63... but wagon? must be Europe only. Have never seen that here in the states. Cool!

here is a link: http://www.automobilemag.com/auto_sh...gon/index.html

anyone know if that is available here in the US?

Yeap the one in the garage is my wifes new C63 AMG Estate and the other car is my BMW M3 Coupe.

Compared to the SL55 AMG well tough question, I kinda miss the SL55 AMG particulary the engine side of things. The SL63 AMG has a better gearbox, love the 7 Speed MCT and the look of the SL63 AMG has now fully grown on me and I love!!

Wouldn't be without an SL in the house!

I know this is in the wrong section but seeing as so many of the you have mentioned it, here's the C63 AMG at the dealership when we picked it up!

Obviously a wagon from this pic:





I love the Mercedes Estates and wish they brought the C63 Estate to the US; guess we'll have to special order a E63 Estate to replace the E55 Esate some day.....

BTW... Saaaweet SL! Congrats!
