RED 2005 SL65
New toy vs. old toy
Just purchased this 2005 RED SL65 about a month ago, and just received my new vanity plates. I know every hates front plates, but police around here love to hand out tickets for no front plate! My wifes owned the 1999 SL500 for about 10 years, color is called Magma red. The color on the SL65 is Mars red. Chris

Great color, but quite an attention grabber especially with those plate (no choice in taking off the front plates with that combination).
