A few pictures of my 2006 Mars Red SL55 with gloss black concave wheels : )

It was a nice and hot day here finally so I snapped a few pictures of my SL55 and wanted to share them. It is a 2006 with 23,000 miles. The car will be for sale in a few months if anyone is interested

Looks cool. Especially with those tinted screens.

I see that you left the MB star in chrome. Good choice. Did the same thing on my black wheels...

+1 and a slight tint to the headlights (Lamin-X does a 30% tint)...but if you didn't touch it anymore you still are left with a beautiful red rocket sled.

Thanks everyone

It took me a fair amount of time to find a low mileage red SL55 but was worth the wait. I do miss the berry red interior from my old SL though. I originally thought about changing some other parts to black as well but since I am going to be selling it at the end of the season, I didn't want to get to personal with the mods.

The wheels were originally sold under the brand Niche but now Adv.1 has the rights to them. I had them powder coated wet glossy black.

A red time attack stripe would look much better.

Thanks everyone!

I never thought that finding a red car would be so difficult. When I was looking there was literally less then a dozen of them for sale. I am ready to move up to an SL65 though. I drove an SL63 before purchasing this SL I have now and was a little underwhelmed by the torque. Even though it wasn't bad by any means and it had an awesome sound. I can't wait to see how a Renntech tuned SL65 with 670hp & 840 ft/lbs feels like!

Let me know when you're ready to sell it. I don't hit the forum often but I'm a qualified buyer and I'd like to buy it for my wife.
