Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster

Instructions for LEGO Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG roadster. This model represents European specification model recreated in LEGO Speed Champions style. And you can fit 1 minifigure inside. This design itself is no different than my standard coupe body style versions (SLS AMG, SLS AMG Open Doors, Black Series), so any other models can be converted as roadsters easily. If you want to recreate US spec version with amber side marker you will need to adjust front end design a bit more than, adding 1×1 or 1×2 orange plate (as side light). Since EU spec versions are designed a bit differently than US models (but US models can be converted as EU spec models very easily by switching original body color 1×2 plate with orange transparent 1×2 plate.
Also another design choice – I placed side air went (between front wheel and front door) in lower position (which I think is more realistic), but this choice created small gap one level above between wheel arch and body. You can eliminate that gap by readjusting air went position and placing 1×2 plate from top, to below air went. If you are thinking about using wheel arches like in official LEGO Mercedes-AMG GT3 set 75877 (or just any other Speed Champions set), you will need to adjust this design a lot. It will have more exposed studs visible, and you will need to rise hood level. So my current design with these wheel arches is the most realistic option in my opinion.
