SL55 front end upgrade cost?
I'm wondering has anyone looked at upgrading their 03-06 front end to the 07 sl55/sl65 front end? anyone have any idea what cost we are looking at roughly? debating on potentially a carlsson front spoiler or doing this...

Contact the parts department of one of the dealers near you. They should be able to tell you how much the part, paint and labor will be. My best guess would be $2500-$3000.
Beware, I have heard of paint mismatch problems with new bumpers.
If you take this further, let us all know how it turns out.

Carlsson front spoiler will probably cost $850 inc freight. Meanwhile a brand new 07 front end will cost somewhere between $2000 - $3000 not inc. paint, tax.

I cant really remember if it was Brabus or Lorinser that I liked in white...I saw a white SL driving past me the other day with a kit I couldn't identify...wasn't tacky and looked quality....Adam do you have a pic of the carlsson?
