SL 55
Hey cal1, I'm gonna change the wheels during the next months by MAE Crown Jewels and after that I'll lower it a bit by a module from loweringmodule.com.
I've bought an aftermarket Radio but right now I'm not sure if I should install it.
Best regards.

Sounds cool. I like the wheels on it. they look a lot like the SL65 gun metal stars. I always wanted a set on my car. it is Pewter metallic and I think the gun metal Gray would look nice. I have a similar lowering module. The best thing about is that you can set it to go back to normal ride height at what ever speed you choose.

Beautiful car !
What model year is your car .?
There is something strange. Your SL55 seems to be a MY 2007 according to the bumpers and the steering wheel with paddles.
But the alumium trim / Navigation module is the one found in 2002/2006 models... strange

You can't have that trim and paddles at the same time. that trim goes with buttons. Your trim is from 2002 to 2004 (I made a mistake in my previous post). You bumpers and steering wheel starts in 2007. You car is not stock.

The first owner bought it 2006. So I think it's a 2006 MB SL 55 AMG. Best regards.

Before 2004

After 2004

after 2004 there is no more Alu/Wood around the screen. Your car HAS alu around the screen. Therefore, that's a pre-2004 SL and cannot be a MY 2006. Look at the registration papers.
You car has probably been retro-fitted with MY 2007 bumpers and steering wheel.

I don't know you car. All I know is that the trim around the navigation system changed in 2004.

You're right I can see the differences but the first owner bought it in 06. Regards
