Default Nov 17: Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG indepth (again)

Quite simple for once

Again Shin's SLK55. Actually the first time we met, I took some pics, but it was before the indepth section was created and I didn't really try as hard as I could, so I had to jump on this new opportunity to take some more and update that page

Click any preview to be taken to the full 21 high-res pics update





Enjoy!

The perfect little car IMO, looks very aggressive and sounds nice too!

Thanks for the new pics, the combos with the 360 are my favourites.

Thanks guys

Those pics in front of that white and blue building could have been better with nobody inside the cars, but it was a firestation and those glass doors are the way the trucks have to go out if needed and we didn't really want to just park the cars and start taking pics LOL, so we just stopped 1 min with engines running and all, to be ready to let them exit just in case

Oh, the Modena will be the next indepth obviously

Really, really nice feature! Thanks a bunch. Moreover wine red is my favorite interior colour.

I noticed something that made me curious, when I looked at the tyres - don't you guys use tyre polisher? In my opinion it's a 'must' when making your car look good, moreover it protects the tyres.

Well, some do, others don't. IMO it looks too fake when a car has "polished" tires.. just pointless, it's like polishing the inside of the muffler or something like that LOL. Tires are meant to be used, and polished ones have such a delaership/motorshow feel
Shin is a car polishing freak BTW, so if he doesn't do the tires there must be a reason too

Despite bing an uncool car (The Cool Wall) - these pics are fantastic 8)

I wouldn't dare park outside a fire station, but if you need to move out of the way quickly, surely a 360 and SLK55 can't be too slow to get away in

Thanks again TT.... i need to go save them one day

Another great set of pics! I most like the combo shots with the black 360, just because of the 'contradiction' in the colours of both cars.

And Shin, you've a really nice car
