Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG [R230] '03
![Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG [R230] '03](/project_pictures/md/367_7.jpg "Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG [R230] '03")
My first project - conversion of 379Felipe's (with his permission) Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG from his NFS C Improvements Mod V2 as a Binary addon car for Most Wanted.
What's there right now and what has to be updated:
- Car model with all textures (except for tire one) and 5 wide body-kits + markers for standard spoilers and roof-scoops;
- Converted available Autosculpt hoods (with some small changes) to regular hoods for MW - still some are duplicated for some reason and 1 is invisible - need to check;
- Decals and Numbers - partially - some are mirrored so need to update those;
- Both 512x and 1024x Vinyls converted, but UV mapping is incorrect as of right now;
- Incorrect Driver position, exhaust positions on some of Body-kits;
- Missing Performance upgrades - only Nitro has 3 stages;
- Binary and VltED scripts are completed (but will be improved with the progress of the mod).
I hope I will dedicate some more time to it within following week and resolve current issues so the car can be published to everyone.

Update #1 - 1 month ago
What is changed/resolved:
- Updated some textures/materials/shaders - most notably - tires, default rims and mirrors;
- Updated Driver position;

- Changed default brakelights to OFF;
- Added License Plate (by AJ_Lethal) and possibility to change it with Unlimiter;
- Tires also can be changes with Unlimiter.

Visitor Comments
No, I don't think so. Original model don't have it and I don't want to make mistakes with textures/geometry while doing it.
Also, I don't understand how to remove Roof Scoops Markers for Cabrio (Suppose just create another Marker under the hood and assign it to this 3d object?)
You mean the author of this addon: https://www.nfsaddons.com/downloads/nfsmw/cars/mercedes-benz/8865/mercedes-benz-nfs-mw-sl65-amg-sl500-extended-customization.html?
If you know where I can find him (here or Discord etc.) - I will try to contact him.
Thanks for pointing it out. Currently I am using only meshes from 379_Felipe's NFS C mod, and the available Wide BodyKits there are the same as MW's SL500.
However, I can combine available Autosculpt bumpers and skirts into couple of not-so-wide body kits from those.
If it will be ok for the community - I will check such possibility.
You might want to replace the interior texture with the one from the SL65, since initially that texture belongs to the SL55, but the car got changed into an SL65 last minute
Also, you might also wanna give the stock brake discs drilled ones since thats how they look like fresh off the factory
Ahh, thanks for this info.
I will try to replace the Interior texture with one from MW's SL65 model.
Also, I've already replaced the brake disks with ROTOR2 generic MW texture - it has drills and looks way cooler.
By the way, do you know if Carbon/Prostreet/Undercover have different Bodykits for SL65 so I would use one of those?
ProStreet/Undercover does have an exclusive bodykit, but i wouldnt recommend you fitting them on this model you got from Carbon
also additional note, please fix the tire tread texture
Thanks for info regarding bodykits and tire texture - will try to resolve those.
Maybe you could help me with understanding how to enable Performance upgrades? Some link with newby-level of explanations?
