Hi Everyone,
I've been an avid visitor to this Forum and MB Community for some time, mainly to help with my research ahead of one of the most important and emotional purchases I've ever made. I've loved the SL55 from the day I first saw it in brochures, then in the flesh and now I'm only a few days away from making the purchase. I've seen a few over time which for one reason or another end in disappointment, but finally I've found one with low miles, good condition and only a few niggles to put right. The main one being the alloys, they're split rim 18'" alloys, can someone recommend a reputable alloy refurbishing company in the midlands, home counties, I'm based in Oxford but willing to travel to a good reputable company. The other issue I'll address in my first year of ownership is the stone chips and one minor paint blemish, again any recommendations of a good body/paint shop. I intend to keep the car for as long as I can drive, it is simply a dream come true and I can't wait to collect it later this week.
