'08 SL55 AMG Body work progress (wrap + SL65 Bumper)

Hello all! Thanks to the board for help on ideas for my SL55. I wanted to share some of the body work progress. I went with an SL65 bumper and a charcoal matte wrap. I found all black accessories to go back on it (Yes, i just noticed the license plate frame too). Luckily an '03-06 grille bolted right on - I had been concerned about that. I bondo'd over the fog lights. Just need to clip the mesh in the bottom, get the tow hook cover to stay, AND - figure out something to do with the side vent things on the bumper... thoughts?

Nice! I just started wrapping one of my cars and boy, its a stress job alright. And I'm not even a noob at vinyl wrapping, but the car is so big!

BTW, I have an F1 Safety Car front bumper cover from an 030 Perf. Pkg. SL55, same as the SL65. It was cracked in the front, but correctly repaired.
It's for sale if anyone is interested. $2300 new from MB, only 6 left. $1200.00
