My wife helped me install my car spoiler this morning. While we were doing it (installing the spoiler ;)), I mentioned that I was thinking of removing the "SL400" badge.......my feedback was ....."then you will be just like those people that you scoff at for de-badging entry level cars..." :geek::shock::oops::oops:.
You better check to make sure she hasn’t started wearing your Y fronts buddy :eek: :rolleyes: :D

But, in this instance, she is 100% correct! However, I'm 80% there - the rear look unbalanced with SL 400 on one side and nothing on the other and I think it will look a lot nicer without it.

Like the 7 year itch in a marriage, it is the 3 year itch in car ownership.......

I never thought I could drive the same car for 10 years.....but, if we'd not left Oz, my SLK would have been a keeper and the SL looks to be the same....(if I live that long :)).

It looks much better smooth, the previous owner of mine asked the MB garage to do this before he bought it from them. I have since removed the plastic chrome effect trim from all doors!!
