Finally an owner! Silver/Berry SL55 with pics...

After searching for 3 months, I finally found my SL55. I will update this post a little later on with my modifications that I have made within the first week of ownership

Loving the car so far. Sold a Ferrari F355 Spider to get this SL55. I have a feeling this will be much easier to live with on a daily basis this summer!


Ray's Master Piece R.E.M. forged monoblock wheels 20 x 8.5 and 20 X 10.5
Continental Extreme DW tires in 245/30/20 and 295/25/20
2007+ LED tail lights and clear brake light
Boston Acoustics and MB Quartz sound system
SL63 rear spoiler
Adjustable lowering links

Thanks everyone, updated post #1 with some mods!

I weighed the stock rear 18" wheel with a bald and worn out original Pirelli tire and got 59.5 lbs. I then weighed the rear 20" Rays forged wheel with a brand new Continental tire and got a weight of 51 lbs. A good 8.5 lbs of unsprung weight removed at all corners while upgrading the aesthetics!

I'll be looking for a supercharged rover sport in about five months before winter hits. Maybe we could strike a deal!

It was lowered using adjustable links and probably about an inch all the way around?

Car looks great...very clean, paint looks awesome and the berry, albeit a little too bright for my taste looks really nice...I love the berry stitching...IMO black seats w/ berry stitching or piping (custom work) with black floormats would look perfect!

looks like brilliant silver, and not Diamond silver metallic...is that right?
