Nice.

I've been debating having the silver part of the fender painted to body colour as well. Do you have pano roof or is it painted black as well?

Excellent! The SL as stock seems a bit Plain Jane; however with such mild mods like yours as well as lowering the car, etc., it makes them a bit more exotic & stands out more. The white/black contrast looks great. You keeping the brake calipers silver?

It is a pano roof but I blacked out what wasn't glass. I haven't decided on the calipers yet. Lowered it today.

Looks great. Maybe try some photo editing on the calipers and see what you like. I did some caliper color editing on my red car, trying with red calipers and yellow, but neither appealed to me so I left them alone.
