How did you do with the part exchange as SL350's are not holding their money.Mine is 2003 can you give me some guide lines.

Talent, luck, smoke and mirrors (and a chunk of cash)

It's not the best time of year to sell a convertible, but neither is it to buy one. The dealer was likely to have the 55 on their books all Winter, and it made sense for them to have a lower value 350 on their books instead and cash in the bank. They can use the money to make money ( even interest only), but the 55 is a potential liability (relatively speaking).

Change those wheels to stock colour and it's a win!

They're the Winter boots. Silver, 19 inch, mint, original AMG wheels are ready for the Spring.

Very nice Tim
I'd like to see the photos when you have the silver wheels on. Too much black for me

Stop taking pictures and carry on driving ;-), looks great I like black on black.

I do partially agree, I bought them from a forum member here, he'd bought then new in silver, then powder coated black without fitting them. I can't make myself go back to silver when they're only 3 months old!!!! ,

Maybe if the kerb gets involved, they could have a silver rim ( but would still be a bit American !!!!)

I'd like to get the silver ones on ASAP, especially as the tyres may not last too long on the black wheels. but don't want to run those in the crap weather to come.

I love the black on black look, menacing

Looks great as it is - very mean

I agree with savman. I think the black on black is very nice indeed.
Lovely car fella

Snap!! I picked up mine as well. Silver with all the options, (are sl65 wheels really that expensive)!!! and its brilliant.

 

[bigmacplease]

Glad to hear you have a set of silver rims

 

[RattlerRattler]

I think I'd get away with black wheels if the calipers were painted too.

Just not sure that red works, perhaps yellow or blue?
