Smile SLK First Day Pick-Up {PICS}

Hey guys, what can i say... the car is really so much fun. I finally sorted everything out with the plates, insurance,etc.. and am having a blast driving it around the tight monte-carlo streets. Hope that it gets the attention it deserves back at school in London next week.

BEAUTIFUL CAR! Left hand drive, is it a US spec car? What is the sensor (?) between the two roll bars? Enjoy.

It's not US, it was made in Germany and came through from a warehouse in switzerland... the sensors between the roll bars are dots, not like the ones on other models using bars which i prefere...

anyways, i like the way its small and will just do things which other cars can't like skip through traffic, should be useful in london!

Correct. This is the parktronic indicators for the rear of the car. The indicators for the fron sit in the middle iof the dashboard in the base of the windscreen

I'm still not sure what you're talking about. What does the "parktronic indicator" do.

Its the parking sensor. Not available in the US. It tells you how far apart are u from objects in the rear when you are parking.

Awesome mate

I have exactly the same car but im over in texas.. Although I'm english from the Blackpool area. The only thing I have at the mo is the Escort radar and laser shifter.. which will be great in the UK and a rear windscreen on order.. makes huge difference on those long topless drives.. Wish I could have got the red interior.. just couldnt wait.

especially in france , monaco those parking spaces are really tight you park like this bump front bumper , rear bumper your in ! every one does this, most of their cars have plastic grey strip on the front and the rear bumper as a solution to this issue!
