I am 95% done with my conversion. You will pretty much need headlights, hood, fenders, front bumper, side view mirrors, rear bumper, diffuser, rear tail lights, trunk spoiler, and all the small bits like the fender liners, bumper reinforcement, headlight brackets, etc.. Not a cheap conversion by any means.

Honestly don't remember how much it came out to be.. I gathered the parts in a period of a year or two. (long before even I purchased the car). I purchased parts from various places.. ebay, dealership, the forum, etc..

hey Raffi. Do you know the parts needed for the internal brackets for the Sl63 rear bumper on the Sl55? I’m not sure what I need to buy and what I don’t need to buy and I don’t want to get something I don’t need. Let me know. That’s all I need to finish the conversion
