Re: My SL500 convertible

AMG sport package and rims....who makes it, If it's a working roof is it by Minichamps? If it is, you're pretty lucky, that's a $130 model.

Re: My SL500 convertible

maisto makes a sl55 so i guess you could put those bumpers and rims on your sl if the bumpers fit. one thing you should do is make the rear antena match the car cuz its silver and your car is blue

Hey Im from the UK (yorkshire) and my name is also chris, crazy coincidence. lol so anyway ye maisto make SL55 buh its a safety car, no worries tho coz all you will need are the wheels and maybe the bumpers. You could also consider the wheels off a McMerc SLR. Personally I would turn it into a GT car, Big spoiler, racing rims, front bumper lip etc
anyway

heres a link to UK site for the SL55 Safety Car.

http://www.grandprixlegends.com/DieCastSite/D_RoadCars_I_Mercedes(DieCast)/R38642%28GPL%5FBaseCatalog%29/DieCast.htm

or use the wheels and parts off a CLK GTR
