Hey Brian, every cloud has a silver lining. In your case it looks like the silver lining looks SLK shaped!

Niiice one

Looks so much better without that old Vauxhall Cresta / Mk1 Ford Consul grille in that upper photo!

In the middle of the roof!?? That's a weird place to get a dent..

 

[Avel Du]

Nah, Murano has a ding there. Does happen.

@Turbo It would be weird in civilized old country! My SLK 300 hunts in the urban jungle of Atlanta! That explains the side panels. We have shopping carts too and there are plenty of folks here green with envy who would accidentally run their cart into my SLK. The dent on the roof was from an object coming off either an overpass or a truck with a load of rocks. I remember the bang above my head. I was so glad it was too hot that day for the top to be down. I thought my pictures contrast nicely with the lovely seascapes that we normally see on this thread. To give you a sense of what Atlanta is like today, watch an old film called Robocop that was filmed here back in the 1980s. Many days I think about asking this forum for an aftermarket installer of Gatling guns for my SLK ala James Bond. This aftermarket addition is now considered legal in the state of Georgia, named after George III.

I must also clarify that this is after 5 years of ownership. I managed four dents and one previous major body work when someone ran into my SLK at low speed in a parking lot.

 

[Turbo]

Oh, I know a bit about Atlanta. Or should I say "The Lost City of Atlanta" (Futurama) .

There was a local car meet this morning and its basically the law not to turn up in a dirty car...so

 

[Avel Du]

People tend to avoid leaning against dirty cars.
And if they do scratch the paintwork you can nab them with dust proof.
