G Wagen Is Gone, Here Is My New SL63 AMG!

Lovely Karl. The SL has always been in a class of its own.
 
My First 'Mod':

Correct model appropriate SL63 number plate: :)

I also managed to source a Euro/GB stip plate (with no border), as they are no longer technically allowed on new plates. I think they look better than the new Union Flag/UK design sitting on the side of the plate, which look a bit Halfords Special IMO. :D

As a second mod, can I recommend the road top roof module? So much more than just being able to operate the roof at a distance. 😁

Do you have a link to it please ?
 
Looks a great product, not £400 good though...

Will think on it, but not sure the features warrant that price...

I’m not a fan of the Union Flag version either. I’ll switch plates for travelling abroad!

I’d conclude the same.

It’s a god send when you’re caught in the rain by surprise but can’t safely or easily stop completely, but can slow right down, eg in traffic on the motorway.

Otherwise it’s just handy, because you can usually plan for opening and closing.
 
Lovely car, Karl. :thumb:

With it being a 2013 M157, does it need a timing chain replacement, already been done or was the engine "new" enough to have the uprated chain from the factory?

I didn't pay that price. There's a Porsche company that has a sideline selling them at much cheaper prices (or they were when I bought mine) the company was porsche911 or something similar.
Plus, once you've decided to sell the car it can be taken off and resold 👍
 
Just had a look on the Porsche site. £389 ...!

Looks a great piece of kit... £200 max though

Yep, checked the engine number from the VIN before I bought it:

Mine is the later style thank god.

The older style with 8 sections:

Very nice Karl and a cracking colour too. Agreed on the wheels being better silver or maybe graphite.
I’ll be keeping an eye out for the follow up videos with interest.
