Nice Fleet.

The name is SL55 Performance Package. The shape of the front bumper is inspired by the SL55 pace car.

Never say "F1" because Bernie Ecclestone will wake up during his sleep. He His the owner of that trademark and allows very rarely automotive industry to use it.

- McLaren for their 1992 Supercar

- Ferrari for their sequential Gearboxes

- Mercedes for the very rare 2000 CL55 F1 limited edition (He requested the first sample to be given to his wife)

Thanks for the comments, hard to know what you call one of these, I bought it as I think the front apron looks nicer, i like the wheels and they hold there money, however doing a search, they are rare-ish, was quite an expensive option, and seem to hold there money better.

They have been called:

F1 Pace car
F1 safety car
F1 Performance package
SL55 Safety car
SL55 Performance Package
Mercedes Rubbish!!!!

Maybe some expert may assist ?????

Either way it looks Nice, goes OK and given what's already gone wrong will keep me skint!!!

Hi gang i have just bought some spacers as i think the wheels sit in the arches far to much.

I went for 15mm on the front and 10mm on the rear, with all new studs.

The car looks so much better with the wider stance and really makes a massive cosmetic difference. Still drives the same.

It is difficult to capture a picture, but ill try when the weathers better!!
