That is an SL55R - an SL500 converted to 5.5L and supercharged.

They labeled it an SL 55K.

Besides, why would the AMG aspect rule out what spolier you went with? The holes (especially with slight modification) are essentially the same. No?

The whole lower front assembly comes off. As you can see with the other (Sanifer Exotic), the complete air dam was replaced in its entirety.

I have seen both SL 500's, SL 55 AMG's all with various front spoliers. So, the RENNtech spoiler is different? Different holes that cannot be modified or something?

Nevertheless, there is a variety of air dams that can exhange with yours, irrespective of the RENNtech version.

Of course, I like your air dam, too. I don't want to get off into a debate about favorite spoilers.

Why the double post?

finding some mistakes
Mistakes like the SL looking "niice"?

Well, it sure looks better now.

Poch admired the car from the start, but this wasn't the issue.

The photo images were badly edited in photoshop. This was first denied, then admitted in part, then a new photo appeared, which still did not discount the editing or visual changes from the original.

Point is now, the car, though edited, whether ever at all an enhancement, now has plenty of good photos for all to see.

This was the original desire from the onset from everyone.

Let's leave it at that.

Your C32AMG

Attn: AMG Bred

And I think you have the sharpest C sedan I have seen.

Your car's great visual tones are illuminated by the superb photo quality you have for all your cars. Very fine machines.

I need to get another digital camera myself. I want to add new digital images with better clarity to this forum of my wife's new sedan as well.

(The most recent ones I have are scanned 35mm images.)

Rare factory wheels

Wish I could find these wheels. They may be a special (European) order.

Hmm... really now... ?

I think I might have a few more sources to attempt tapping into again. One way or another, I'll let you know. (And I won't hold you to this.)

I'm told that this is a European order, but this wheel has in fact been pictured and offered through MB dealership parts departments. One source even believes they have a part number. (We'll see. )

It is, however, most certainly a factory, MB production wheel.

Yeah, you seem awfully keen on that!

What's with this displaying of people's IP addresses, etc. in your signature?

Like one of the various notes the animated sign posted, you do have a lot of time on your hands.

I'll have to write a pointed letter to Zone Labs for their woeful misrepresentation of IP protecting software. I'll have to close my ports now, too. We've got people like you (or the ones you trigger) to be on alert for. Thanks a lot!

Whew... that took some time to read. Nice car Shank and good choice of wheels. I have LMs on my car as well, except we had to go with LMs for a Porsche to get to 315 on the rear. Anyway, back to a more pertinent question... which perfomance package is in that SL55 and what kind of numbers is it putting up on the dyno.

Remind me not to do any photoshopping of my CLK 6.3K when I get it back and post it on this board.

As long as they are original untouched photo's with the metadata intact it's perfectly fine.

It's not C class talk, it's CLK 6.3K talk.... which is 700 hp and 700 lb/ft torque talk... which is a hell of alot more interesting than photoshop v. not photoshopped talk... but it was ancillary anyway. The real question was about the Shank's SL55 and what kind of numbers the Renntech package is putting down on the dyno.
