Some advice please
I have been looking for a company to supply and fit a wide body kit.
Then out of the blue I find a 2010 SL63 with black ed kit, looks amazing, but it means no turbo, but you will get a far newer car. I could get 30k for my car in part ex, and then find another 28k for the 63 wide body. What would you do, :nix: S8. |
I'd keep the 65. You're looking at a large power drop off and lots of money difference for looks and some newness. That & I guess you get airscarf...
|
Yeah, the only thing I don't want.
But just think, probably no worries about bits going wrong, great exhaust note, and F1 paddle change, and wide body looks :bow: Without badges, except AMG people wont know what it is. The only race I had in my 65 was against a GTR, and I lost, and I am certainly not going to race little boy racer hatchbacks. That leaves looks......that wide body..................mmmmmmmmmm. |
you can put the F1 paddles on your 65 as well as the widebody kit. What year is it? You can replace a lot of parts for the price difference. True you won't have to worry about coil packs and motor mounts, but the new ones still have ABC.

I have tried to get someone in the UK to fit a body kit, without luck.
Paddles on a 65 doesn't alter the fact it is still an auto box, whereas the 63 is a double clutch with superbly quick change. You are right I could spend far less fitting a wide body kit, just tell me where.:nix: |

The idea of putting a supercharger on a motor designed to be NA makes me a bit nervous, but Weistec here in the U.S. has done it. I know of one member that has a CLK63 BS with a Weistec blower. Those little boy racers would hear a second of sweet SC whine and that great 63 exhaust note like a split second later.:) |
Didn't you already have an SL63? If I remember correctly, you didn't like it.

Sure I had a 2009 SL63 and like most of us like to tune cars. Because it
had no turbo I couldn't increase power easily, with a turbo an extra 50bhp is quick a cheap job, you would have to have a supercharger fitted or major engine work. However the 63 had good points but then they all have good points. I have decided that LOOKS are the most important, and in the UK an ordinary SL could be a SLR if you told them it was. The 63 I am looking at has a black edition body kit on, and looks amazing. So it wins in the looks dept, nuf said.:D |
Who put the kit on it ? You could be buying a friggin nightmare ,I mean make sure you check it out first because if it is a nightmare there's going to be like 450,000 posts on here from you.

How's that for advice :rolf:

There are many wide body kits, I am sure some are crap. This guy has
a garage selling mega expensive cars, so no fly by night. He says he has done 5 but no more. It is a direct copy of a black edition which is great. I am going to see it tomorrow and will check fit and finish, it has done 44k miles, but then I don't do much mileage. My 65 looks, and go's great, but the wide body is so awesome looking. Maybe the 63 can be tuned, I read about changing headers, and a ecu change can get 25-30 bhp. And of course fit a supercharger, thanks to every body for their suggestions. You only live once and part of owning a car it customising it, I am only happy when I am thinking about new car, not necessarily new, but different. However when facing a decision where both sides offer something good, it's a nightmare.. |
