Mike, unless the interior has some yellow, would you consider Red calipers? Would stand out all the same, plus match the taillights. Just a thought. Or even silver.

 

Yes, black is my favorite color on the SL for sure. I hope I can be the next member with a black one. That would leave 35 left.

Mike, if you do yellow calipers, would it be sacrilegious to pain the engine cover yellow so you can see it through the clear bonnet?

 

Car Looks Great Mike!! Yellow Calipers would def. set it off! Also dont forget the 560 Front Bumper

 

Indeed you should get the 560 Bumper. It really adds another level of aggressiveness to the overall look of the car.

Everytime I go into the garage it looks as if the car wants to take a bite out of something.

 

I wouldn't go to that extent, I'm going to be keeping this car forever - I want to keep it original as possible

 

If you don't have any competent shops locally that do good work, you're better off sending them to a shop that can do the work using the right high temp paint, proper stencil for the lambo script and clear coat. I had mine done in Verde Ithaca and they look much better than factory finish. I'd also do the plenums in yellow to match as well as paint the SL wheels black for the yellow calipers to really stand out. Good luck!

Just to give you an idea.

 

Hi ron,

Thanks for the pic - I think your car looks great! I'm very doubtful of the local shops ability to pull this off. It will just not be anywhere near factory quality and will probably do more harm than good. I've given them benefit of the doubt too often, I must just realise this is not the States I'm not going to go through the headache of shipping the parts off somewhere internationally and potentially losing them, or waiting a month for it come back to me.

I'm going to just pursue swapping for another set of yellow factory calipers and that will be the end of "mods" from me
