2017-18 SL65 AMG Exterior Trim questions
I love the exterior trim on the 2017-18 SL65 AMG and am trying to figure out if it can be easily added to my 2019 SL450, or if I would have to replace full bumper and rocker panels. Specifically, the chrome around the air intakes and the lower lip on the front bumper, along with the chrome rocker panel edge trim. Might anyone have the exploded drawings of these areas showing part numbers?

I would think you could just order the SL65 pieces you want. My 17 Designo Edition came with some of the front chrome but I'm sure I could order the rest including the sides along the bottom if I wanted to fill it out.

The SL65 has a different front clip than the SL450/550. This is not an option for Streamliner. Think $4-5k for parts and paint.
The only choice I see is exactly the bumper trim from your edition model. The hope is that the chrome trim is simply an overlay with double sided tape. If not, it’ll be a couple of clips which may require drilling.
Either way, it could be easy and cheap to do. Koenigstiger would likely be able to pull up the diagram. Otherwise all you (Patrick) would have to do is to provide your VIN to Streamliner via PM and he could just call the parts department of the MB dealer to get the part no and pricing...
