SLK R172 to SLC R173 (face lift conversion)
I think it would be possible to update the R172 to SLC.

Memebers on this forum have successfully facelifted the E class to the new look.

I would say you need:
front bumper
grille
rear bumper
bonnet
headlights
tail lights
exhaust
wheels

What do you think?

I sure think it is possible if the body underneath is the same. Sure looks like it..

In the US it is usually better financially to just buy the new version.

The new headlights will require new modules with SCN coding from someone willing with a networked Xentry.

FWIW, the SLC models are designated by M-Bz as R172 series, not R173.

I like the look better of the SLK (Sport line) then the SLC. It looks much more aggressive.
