Another Facelift Conversion (SL 65 AMG)

R230 Brabus Fr. Bumper incl.

I've received a few enquiries re: # of parts... my friend runs a workshop and I really have no clue about the details involved. Sorry for those that I haven't responded to. I think this could be the first SL 65 to FL conversion.

Nice, but the front grille is not the AMG grille, but the standard R230 FL grille. Why didn't you take the AMG grille with the black painted bar in the middle?

$20K! Wow! By the time you add the cost of the car into that, I bet you would be very close in cost to an actual facelift car.

For those who want the safety car front apron, this is the closest I have seen. But I still advise to paint the bottom of the apron to get a similar effect.
