Looks like you'll need both bonnet pads, too. Also not too expensive. :)

I've also got a bit of new genuine windscreen washer hose lying around if you need that. :)

Need to pull a valve cover I guess to see how much AMG work has been done under there.

I'll be interested to see how the exhaust sounds, as I need to get more growl out of the SLC, so it might be interesting to copy the AMG setup if it sounds right.

You're most welcome to have a look, listen and feel the AMG... anytime..

It's an old post, but I just realised, it's been just over two years since I bought the AMG and tomorrow I will drive it to Eastern Creek for the second year in a row and take it around the track.

I've been asked by the President of the MB Club of NSW to display it next to a few chosen vehicles in Pit Lane as part of the celebrations to mark the 40th anniversary of the Club and the 60 years of the SL.

I wasn't aware it had issues, Last lot of pictures I saw were well over a year ago when he had clay blocked the duco.

A gorgeous bit of engineering.

No issues with the car as such that I know of.
