Everything is good, except for these tacky side grills/vents. I still prefer the previous version.

Yeah, the design isn't really conclusive!!

Took these photos, when I was at the dealer. Like the design of the grills/vents when you see them from the front of the car, but the side and from the back it looks uncomplete.

I agree, it looks cheap from the side and back angle, can't they at least use real mesh?

Maybe these a reposts?!

Did that bumper clear the curb? It is a close one.

 

[Merc1]

Yeah a cringed looking at that.

Old one is definitely more elegant, the new more dynamic…would prefer the pre-FL SL!!

Me too. But I'd take it with those 911 TT inspired rims.

Have you got this pics in a higher resolution?

 

[NevadaJack]

I like the old one if you get my drift...

 

[Merc1]

I'll take them both please. Why would a rich person need to choose?

Have to say, as drastic as the facelift was, it's hardly noticeable in real life. I saw one driving today and noticed it was an SL long before I realized it was a facelifted SL.


Note: I still prefer the pre-FL SL.

Looks cheap in red

The "old" one looks great in Black... Trying not to be partial but I still think the '09 does not have the appeal of the '08. I like the upgraded interior features more on the '09, but the exterior of the '08 is just more classic and unique. In fact when I compare mine with the red one above, the '08 looks like a later version...?

Some R129 photos! Great looking car…

 

[Merc1]

The R129 is likely my favorite Mercedes-Benz of all time. Thanks for the pics.
