Lego Speed Champions Mercedes-AMG SL63 Fix and Improvements

After building this cool little car I compared it to images and specifications of the real car. While I think the Lego designers created a cool design with lot of nice techniques, the proportions are pretty good apart from the windscreen.
It's a little smaller scale than the March wave of Speed Champions and more 1:29th scale than the 1:27th scale used earlier.
Hope you like the changes I have made and let me know if you can see any other improvements to make.
Enjoy

I don't understand why LEGO themselves didn't design the bonnet that wide in the first place. A great mod!

[@speedybrick]

Thanks, me either. The steering wheel is even more a mystery as they used it in the G wagon

[@garyth777]

Thanks for the shout out! Glad you liked the mod. I’ve just built the g wagon and changed the hood as I built it. Also working on several other builds that I’ll show soon on the fbook page once I’ve got some parts that I’m waiting for so I can finish! Happy building.😀😀

[@speedybrick]

Your welcome. Look forward to seeing your mods

Great modifications SB, big improvements.

[@speedybrick]

Thanks most appreciated

[@cuco_Monito]

You're welcome 😊

[@aleffush]

Omg thanks for sharing this! This is way way better than the original ones.

[@speedybrick]

Thanks most appreciated

[@CarFan827]

great mods, im going to do these on my own mercedes set when i get one.

[@speedybrick]

Thanks, have fun with your build

[@anish.n8310]

Nicely done. Now for the G-wagon. The rear must be fixed asap!!!!

[@speedybrick]

Thanks, yes it needs some work

[@idonjohnson6999]

Higher windshield also allows for a MOC softtop/hardtop.

[@speedybrick]

Yes it does 😄, project for someone

[@Redwolf0612]

Always making great vids and mods!! Keep it up! Have you seen the Mould King modified wind screens with the open top? Might work real well for this build.

[@speedybrick]

Thanks most appreciated. I will have to look. Do you have an image to share?

[@Redwolf0612]

​@@speedybrick Try Googling: Mould King 27041. Hopefully that will give you the correct results

[@lyonwillman302]

just came across your channel, build is great video is great! Keep it up!

[@speedybrick]

Thanks, will do!

[@kcrain81]

Great mod! I think I’ll do something just like this. Thanks!

[@speedybrick]

Your welcome

[@vetteltuna1716]

Difficult to represent the windscreen, but every modification looks awesome

[@speedybrick]

Thanks, yes it’s tricky ideally Lego create a new windscreen for these types of cars

[@X-DR1FT3R-X]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@speedybrick]

You bet!

[@bartoszpiela7958]

Someone have idea how I can made roof for this Mercedes? I want make normal C class AMG, but all of my attempt to make roof look very strange

[@speedybrick]

@@bartoszpiela7958 great question I am thinking the same

[@idonjohnson6999]

Where you go 3x “that bit doesn’t exist” that last bit does exist. At least you look to be pointing out a quarter round piece (1x2) with 2 attachment points.

[@speedybrick]

Do you mean the new L shaped plate with rounded corner. I looked at that but it’s too square looking. There is a brick the right shape but I need a plate

[@idonjohnson6999]

@@speedybrick unless I misunderstood but it’s the same piece that is on the G-Wagon, surrounding the spare wheel Mercedes logo. But in studded version. That’s been around for years.

[@speedybrick]

@@idonjohnson6999 yes exactly, but i don't know there was a studded version. Do you have a part number?

[@chazmyster]

​@@speedybrick part 79491

[@speedybrick]

@@chazmyster ok i see what you mean, i think of that piece as a L shape with rounded corner. but it is too square to match the shape of the curved piece above, so didn't want to use it.

[@andrewg7576]

Are you related to David Coulthard?

[@speedybrick]

Not that I know of, lol

[@DREDD_BOT]

It's a great set but the G-Wagon is too damn big

[@speedybrick]

So true, comparing the two cars the scale is way off. both really nice cars but with the relative size difference they shouldn't have been in the same box.

[@DREDD_BOT]

@@speedybrick exactly I have the set and having it in person is just really weird looking they should have did it separate I'm sick and tired of having two packs of speed champions especially ones that don't really look right

[@speedybrick]

@@DREDD_BOT yeah it's funny, they know how to do it right but so often get it wrong. Perhaps the Speed Champions head designer moving to City has created a vacuum so that this sort of stuff is able to happen

[@Spurs_fan12]

Can you do a tutorial on the bonnet

[@speedybrick]

not much required, i will make some pictures an share them as a post

[@speedybrick]

Ok i have put some images as a post, hopefully that helps

[@Spurs_fan12]

@@speedybrick ok thanks 👍

[@DLGNT]

Would you be able to modify the SL63 into an AMG GT?

[@speedybrick]

Great idea
