If the wheels and badges were an anthracite colour then i would have it but i am not a fan of white wheels and the red badges.

Just one thing though , an extra 150 ft/lb torque by merely by-passing the rear silencers or is there more electrickery when the bypass valves are operated as the description of operation is a little sketchy.

I'd have one, okay in a different colour but quite like it

Stunning apart from the badges and wheels.

I would have a really deep dish wheel on it

I think that looks a million dollars, but white wheels and red badges ?.......But how could the car be so right and the wheels be so wrong !! :eek:

SL 63 now CL65
I love everything about my Cl 65 but I'm not sure I'd do that to it. Mine doesn't even have the rear badges so it gives it a bit of a stealth look. It's a bit like the black series SL it has a certain appeal but I'd rather have a late model V12 instead.
I bet that car sounds nice though with the exhaust mod, mine is virtually silent inside the car.

Mine is silent too- amazing how AMG engineers succeeded in keeping the V12 so quiet, ironic that a lot of owners (but not me) now want exactly the opposite!

Many years ago we had a very wealthy friend ( no more) he had a V12 SL I remember placing a 50p piece on the engine and it not falling off when it was running it also sounded a bit limp and far too quiet. That was until we tried in vain to keep up with him.

Not sure about that. I think I prefer my cars more subtle...
