Thanks for the pic's now my opinion ---- single bar grill and the star as well as the hood bumps are retro to the 300SL -- it looked great then but I like the 3 bar look of mine not to busy but not a gaping hole ---- the AMG trim is fine as is the car without it --- matter of personal taste ---- the side vents are different ---- looks good ----- I like the old headlamp treatment new ones look like everybody else's but they don't ruin the car as to the "air scarf's" looks ugly and with the ventilated and heated sport seat you don't need it. We have had ours in temps below 50 F with the top down seat heaters on with the seat vent fans running and you get a nice warm flow of air over the entire seat ---- the interior air flow in the SL is different than the SLK where as it was a great improvement to the SLK it is not needed in the SL ---- to me this is just a gimmick --- and if the AMG trim was a pick and choose type I would add the the side treatment but not the grill and rear end as this trim is purely for looks its a matter of personal choice and the aerodynamics is not going to make that much difference.
All in all the new one is ok and I'm sure it will grow on me --- after all it is a Mercedes
