G-Benz,

Thanks - I had found the other M-Benz post earlier on.

However, I'm inclined to think that a change to a 2 vent without the complete bumper and wheel changeout will make the SL a bit of a mongrel.

I'm not that worried about authenticity or resale - more the fact I'll be spending the money for little or no real advantage.

You've confirmed my thinking on the matter anyway, I'll pass on this offer.

On the matter of upgrades, it's interesting to see how many pre-1996 SLs around have the two-tone painted out as I'm doing... seems one color is the popular and preferred look.
