beautiful shots bro, the last pic of the SL although edited is, i am sure, much more life-like than the ones above 
the 722 idea is a really cool touch, but i don't think i can imitate it because my 55 is red (on red, black dash, alum trim)
may i ask if you just did the stock lowering at the dealer?
i have to take my car in for bushings/casters change and i told my mechanic that i want to have the car lowered by at least 4cm! he said he will try it with the computer.
a lowering module is well over $1k and i'm sorry but .. no
body wise, only things i would consider are the 63 rear spoiler (v similar to ur cf one) and the 2007 55 front bumper with fogs. any idea those two things would cost?

It is possible to lower the car, i didn't loiwer it yet because its a complicated issue and my benz dealer isn't really that friendly. Every MB dealer has a STAR system ($7K option) in which you buy seperatly, you can do practically anything with that system, lower the car, air temp etc ..
As of my CF spoiler, its based on the 63's spoiler, i can send you the link. an 07 SL55 bumper should cost around 5000 dirhams with the fog lights. But why not go for the SL65 front instead?

dude i am putting you on my ignore list after this!!! 
i see what you mean with the red 722! hmmm 722 headlights, grill painted black, 2007 bumper (wider vents: more black) rear 63 spoiler. that would transform the car!
5k aed for the `07 bumper WITH fogs?! got the hook up bro? as for why not a 65 bumper, while i like it, i don't prefer it over the 55's, a lot calmer and curvier flow
lowering seems like more of a hassle than i bargained for initially, i will check to see what can be done at the shop (not AD) when i take it for the bushings change and take it from there
the mod ideas above M U S T wait for .. well, a long time lol but it doesn't hurt to have everything in place from now!
note more pics of the maranello PLEASE
mashalah

mashalahBlack 722 style headlights would actually look amazing of your Mars red 55. Notice the 722S, i'll post up a link and check that out, i find that stunning. check the link http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2526/...c2f3ae263e.jpg

mashalahNo worries, i know the guy who sells AMG parts, i'll find the details and i'll forward you everything. If there's anything else you need please contact me. And i do hope you know that there is a difference in the side skirts too (07 models) in comparision to the (03-06)
I'll be sending the 55 to dubai hopefully in december (know a few people that can help me with some things for the benz)
I sure will post some more pics of the maranello, actually i'll get up early and have a nice shoot tomorrow morning. Most pictures are with the group of cars actually non of with the 575 alone

hahahaha thanks!
Well the rest of the cars are my dads. My personal is the SL55 and an Audi A8, and the only reason i went this far with the 55 was because not many people highly modify their benz's in terms of performance and looks so i wanted to be the first who'd do something like this. But i did however play around with the LP640 (pics in previous page)
