Hey all. I need to replace the wing mirror glass and have been quoted £348 from Mercedes!! Has anyone used an alternative? The car is a 2014 SL63, so its heated and dimmable, that being said, if I can have a regular glass attached for the time being it would help right now!

Hey guys. I'd like to swap out the tail pipes for a set in black, I think they'd really suit the colour scheme of the car. But the only ones I've found are on eBay for over £1000! Are there any other places worth trying? Has anyone tried having them painted?

Hey all. My wiper blades need replacing. Ordered a set from EuroCarParts but when they've arrived they don't have the small holes for the washer fluid to come out. Where is the best place to buy the correct blades? I have a feeling you're going to say dealer only and therefore I better go and...

Hey all. Had my SL about a month now and loving it (my first AMG) One thing I've noticed, the gear change can be a little abrupt when it's cold. Not noisy, clunky or anything, just not as smooth. Particularly 1st to 2nd to 3rd. Is this normal? Would it benefit from a gearbox fluid change...

Hey all. Really enjoying my first AMG experience (R231 SL63) I do have one query. I've noticed the oil temps can take quite a while to get up to temp and not sure if this is normal (or a suggesting of a thermostat issue) It can take a good 20mins of driving for it to get into the 80's (UK...

Hey all. Just thought I post up on the off chance someone has one they've removed from a car before selling.....

Hey all Thought I'd post some before and after pictures of the interior trim on my R231 SL63. One thing that I really didn't want was the silver trim set, much preferred the piano black, carbon or black ash. Typically when I found the ideal car, that was the one thing it didn't have! So as...

Hey all Kicking myself as when I got home after collecting the car I noticed the owners wallet with manual etc were all missing (excitement of driving home and I didn’t check it over!) Dealer says they can’t find it. I really want to get hold of one. Is there anywhere I can get one from? Are...

Hey guys Just been into the boot of my newly acquired R231 SL63 and its pretty much bear :( No jack, no towing eye, nothing. Although it does have a canister but no pump. I'm keen to source a jack and towing eye, where is the best place to get these bits, ideally and not be bent over?!

Hey guys. Picked up my new to me SL63 today. I was having a play with the settings, C-S-S+ However I do not notice any difference in the exhaust note. I think they may be stuck shut? (Not as loud as I remembered it being) Is there a valve on each back box? Unlikely both are shut so that...

Hey all I'm picking up my 64 plate SL63 at the weekend (can't wait!!) I know I will want to increase the volume a little. I've spoken to MSL / TorqueFlow about a resonator delete. He has given 3 options: straight pipes H pipes X pipes I'm interested to hear anyone's experience of any...

Put a deposit down on my first AMG, a 2015 SL63. Very excited! I'm lucky enough to have some really nice cars but nothing really suited to every day driving, long cruises etc. I've always liked these cars but never been in a position to get one. It wasn't my first choice of colour, but the...

Hey all. I've wanted an SL Merc for some time but never been in a positive where one would fit my needs, well I've found myself in the lucky position of looking for a daily drive and something a little special. The SL63 is on the top of my list. First question, Is it worth stretching the budget...

Hey Guys Just selling a few bits I have left from my car. I've put them on Ebay, hopefully that's ok to give a heads up to members on here? They all end Sunday evening. 99p start with No Reserve, they go for what they go for so could be some bargains to be had. Owners Manual and Leather...

Noticed today the car runs at an indicated 50 degrees! If I sit in traffic it will rise to 70's but as soon as I get going again it drops back down. I think it's correct as the heating isn't that strong ( until you get stuck in traffic) Any ideas? Common issue on the bmw diesel is faulty...

Can anyone recommend a place to get updated Map software for the Sat Navs? Also advice on what I need to be looking for? Thanks Mark

In the last two years I've had a 2007 BMW Z4 M Coupe, a 2005 BMW M3 Convertible and a 2006 BMW 535d M-Sport Touring (still have this) Well having just bought the Exige and wanting a car to use to soak up the miles for work, but something cheap, the Mercs seemed to have aged a lot better than...

I've been in touch with Command online about setting up a bluetooth solution in my 2002 W203, the parts I was advised I'd need come to nearly £800!! :eek: After fitting costs I'll be looking at over £1k, no way I can justify that on a £3k car! So, with the ideal of an integrated solution...

Interested to see how some of you have done this. In my Bimmers I used the Brodit Proclips, they work great and don't look too cumbersome. Sourcing a Brodit for the W203 is proving a little more tricky, and to be honest I'm not keen on where they are designed to be mounted. So please post...

Just wondering if there is much to be gained from remapping these cars/engines? I'm not just after power, improvement in fuel economy and general driveability? 2002 W203 CDi?
