C4S front spoiler
I changed to the C4s spoiler on my lowered TT for the cleaner look and slightly better scrape avoidance. I've had my car over 170mph many times with no impact on handling that I could detect. Maybe the lowered stance helped. I don't know what the impact would be closer to 200mph.

Personally, I think the C4S lip looks much better than the TT lip.

I do like your lip a lot. Looks tough and durable.
Is it soft rubber or hard plastic?

The SL 55 has a bit of a hard time when judging social acceptance and the overall image of the car. If a young driver ( < 40 yrs) drives an SL, it is assumed that he's a pimp.

Great analysis. I heard from a German co-worker that a Ferrari is also seen as a pimp car in Germany, yes? Unless you have serveral, in which case you could be seen as a rich exotic car collector.

The pimp car rating in Germany goes like this:
#1 Viper
#2 Corvette
#3 Countach
#4 Ferrari
#5 SL
#6 M3 (for junior pimps)
#7 any Bentley or Rolls Royce
#8 Hummer H1, H2
#9 BMW 8 series
Socially accepted (non-pimped and in decent colors):
#1 911 (all models)
#2 DB7, DB9, Vanquish
#3 Murcielago, Gallardo
#4 XK8, XKR, XJ series
#5 Range Rover, Cayenne, ML etc.
#6 BMW 6 series
Real exotics (such as the CGT or the SLR) do not really have a social image, since they are so rare.
