Most of you would have seen these pics. They were taken in 2005/6 but nothing has changed since. Must do up some new ones soon with better angles and light, especially of the wagon.

I park my vlt there sometimes and get lunch when i'm visiting him. The funny thing is i actually drove past as you were taking one of those pics ( a Few years ago now) and tooted and waved.

Never had the hubcaps, which I regret now. When I ordered it from the dealer I liked the look of some other 15" ROH wheels that were on another car in the yard so they swapped them. They got replaced with some 16" Simmons B45's a few years later. I bought the police rims about 15 years ago and had them laying around just in case.
If anyone has any for sale........
As for the bumper colours, 747 is right, there was only one for the SL's, Exec's & Berlina's (apart from the body colour if you wanted it). 4H017 Grey Metallic is the go.
It was the Calais that had the choice of three.

Seriously ?! Adelaide is such a small place. You should have stopped and had a chat. I was probably in a world of my own. I moved house about six months ago to the other side of town so am looking for new locations out this way.
Thanks for the comments too. I had her out for a run on Sunday for the first time in a month. Always feels like coming home as soon as I get in.
How long have you had this one ? Did you pick it up stock or have to convert it back ? Mate of mine in Brisbane (pretty sure he lurks on here) has an SL identical to yours and in just as original condition.
I'm tossing up at the moment whether to get the kick-up exhaust put back on to complete the whole look, except in 2.5" like the rest of the system. I'm not a fan of the stock steering wheels but may even put that back on when I get rid of the full metal jacket on the steering column soon. SL tail lights and garnish have also been put aside for a rainy day.
