2012 AMG SLS Gullwing
New owner; couple questions
Hi, just bought a 3k miles Alubeam silver 2012 w/dyano red interior for 150k from a private seller. Interested in keeping it as garage candy and only pulling out for special occasions.
Any thoughts on if I should have the recalls done or just leave it alone?
I usually put a 3M clear bra on my exotics. Any reason why this wouldnt be ok with the alubeam paint?
Any wisdom would be appreciated.

I would protect the Alubeam paint with clear bra. I know someone that has an Alubeam SLS, who got a small scuff on the lower front bumper, and now is really challenged to find a AMG dealer or body shop that can repair correctly. Post some pics of your car!
