Thanks guys, great feedback and you can't get any better than other drivers experience. Anything I find useful I'll report back. Apologies if this is boring for regular readers and for repeating on two threads.

Not sure which alloys they are but they have lots and lots of spokes.... If that's the right name?
I think that's it?
On area which is a shame is the front bumper on Thr lowest section has a crack in it which has been caused no doubt in a car park kerb or maybe high speed hump? Not sure of replacement cost but imagine that's expensive as the whole bumper is one unit. Might look into possible repair?
Now thinking about whether a warranty would be advisable? I had a quick look tonight and "warranty wise" we're quoting approx £1100 for a years cover but not looked at the small print in detail yet so will be interesting to find out what's "actually" covered.
Do people still use car covers? Thought it could help prevent the weather wear and tear whilst not garaged? If anyone can recommend where to buy a genuine SL55 cover I'd be interested?
What do most people do for a car phone as it appears MB opted (certainly in 2003) for Nokia.... I need to ask Alfie at Comand about this one!
Tyres, currently has Pirelli P Zero Rosso.... ???
The alloys need a bit of TLC too... See I'm making my wish list already ....
...Carbon centre console
...New steering wheel
...Interior valet (professional not my local drive thru)
Sorry you must be falling asleep by now!
Thanks again.
