Possible to convert my 06 sl65 to 09 look?

I'm thinking to convert my 06 to 09 look with full brabus, let see, front bumper, hook, lights, fenders, what else? It's that possible?

I would buy your take off parts!

If you want to sell your stock SL65 take off parts I would be interested in buying them.

If you want full brabus plus SL63 lights etc. Im sure it will be way way over 8k with paint and install.

Why? IMHO it seems like an awful waste of $$$ for a "look" that no one will notice or care about except you. If you ever sell your car it's still an 06 and the new buyer may not want the "updated look" and the car restored to its original appearance. True, the refreshed SL is nice looking but is it really that much nicer? Not IMHO. If you really want to update your SL's looks sell it and buy a new one. I'm sure there is a great deal out there in cyber-land that is just screaming "buy me"!

Good point, I got tired the way it looks, I like the new brabus look, if I gonna do the full brabus, minus well do the full update, I have no interest to buy a 09 model, I got hit once, dont wanna get hit twice, i dont see any power difference between 06 to 09, I dont care about the resale, if I did, I wouldnt buy it in the first place.

I agree. I do like the SL63 wheels; other than that, the older body style wins hands down.
