Arrow SL63 AMG F1 Safety Car

We just had the Formula 1™ Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in my city.
http://www.yasmarinacircuit.com/

It was amazing event and the idea that I come up with when I saw the SL63 AMG F1 Safety Car
that the front bumper for this car (pics below) is 95% similar to the 2009 SL65 AMG Black Series front bumper
but in this case you can fix it with the SL63 OEM front fender.

Now can anybody search or find the VIN number for the 2009 SL63 AMG F1 Safety Car to be able
to buy that front bumper from the MB dealer?

Hi, I have already looked into this.
You cannot buy the safety car front apron, it is specially beefed up for the track. Just paint the bottom of your black mesh grill,you can paint the whole
thickness or just a line as I have.

Thanks, but what he doesn't understand is there won't be a part number,
it's made just for the safety car. I think the closest to the safety car is
the SL65 front apron.
