I just pulled the trigger on my third SL55. I never should have sold my last one but I like this one a lot too. It's a 2006 with 7k miles and 030. About the only changes I think I'll make is a carbon trim kit and updated steering wheel and possibly an upgrade to the sound system but nothing too crazy.

Wow! looks like you have an SL65 front bumper as well. Best color choice there is IMO.

Kamilclk430 - That is the 030 package bumper on the SL55.

What a great find. I am quite jealous although I am very partial to my Everest Green color that almost no one selected.

Enjoy!

I am generally not a fan of white cars in spite of the fact I have owned many, but white and those R230 curves just looks swweet and 030 to boot. Very nice.

Thats a beauty, congrats!

I'd love to have a P30 car, they are not easy to find. Enjoy it.
