2004 Mercedes sl500
Hi.. I have an 04 sl500 that I will be doing a facelift for the 09 look.
I found the hood, fenders, bumper cover, and grill on ebay. Looking to get headlights, so far all I found is in germany quite pricy for 1800 euros for the pair. I noticed you mentioned headlight bracket, hood hinges, and shocks..do those also need replaced? anything else you know I should be aware before I start? Thanks very much indeed, Aurelia aureliagavrila@yahoo.com

Best prices I"ve ever found for parts for my 2007 SL550 have been at parts.com.

Parts.com is good. AutohausAZ.com is better for mechanical and electronic/electrical parts. I had to replace the crankcase positioning sensor on my SL55: the price at parts.com was $96 and at autohaus it was $39. It has been installed and it works properly.

Question

What parts are needed to a rear end conversion?

I was going to order from parts.com:

I take it you need a 2009 Sport bumper cover, but what about grill and valance panel? How about molding? Thanks for any help guys!

Try this. It's free, they ask for your CC to makes sure you're in the US. They won't charge.
