My favourite SL ever, even more exotic in the U.S spec |

No. More ugly. These terribly looking US-spec conversions destroy absolutely and totally the classic design-lines. Inexcusable |

He's right, those bumpers spoil it. |

They are worst, but the ugly headlights and taillights have also their part. |

I actually prefer the round headlights to the bug-eye Euro look. This one missiing it's headrests BTW. |

You can see in this shot behind him that the headrests have been removed for filming so the actors can be seen better in the car. The impact bumpers and whitewall tyres aren't to my taste, but I don't mind the American headlights which I believe were used on all the Rally cars (don't know if that was marketing as the car sold more than half of production in the US or because the sealed beams were quicker to fix during a race) I still prefer the clean Euro headlights overall though, as on ALL 60s/70s/80s Mercedes |

Why are the mirrors painted matte black? I think all Production cars were chrome along with the rest of the brightwork. Was this something done by the filmakers to prevent difficult reflection in the camera lens, or some late 70s trend I don't know about? |

A 1980 car in a film shot between February and April 1979? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080365/locations/?ref_=ttspec_sa_5 |
