Facelift SL55 to New SL63
Can the front of a SL55 be facelifted to the new SL63 by changing the hood, fenders, headlights, bumper and all other hardwares?

With enough $$$ I guess anything is possible.
Why turn a car into something it isn't???
SL55 is already a stunning car with its own rights. If you like the look of the new SL63, then what about the rear of the car? Are you gonna change out all the badges too? What about the engine, wheels and etc.?
After all it's your hard earned $$, so it's your call.....
But then if $$ is not so hard earned, then why not just get the REAL SL63 instead of turning that SL55 into a "SL-Frankenstein"??

Why stop at the SL63? What about an SL65 Black Series?
I have a 2003 SL55 and wondered if you could easily convert to SL65 Black Series. I like the wide-body look, but would leave out the fugly rear wing.

Thanks everyone,
Wasn't too willing to sell the car at so low price now as I still considered it as a superb car in terms of performance and luxury. The front of the new SL really attracted me and it just pop out of my head if I can do a facelift.
I wouldn't change badges, the facelifted version is already good to me.
Yeah,the SL65 Black Series is truly stunning. I am sure one day this kit will come out in my country as there are so many MB copy parts of decent quality now available. Recently the CLK DTM body kit is out for about USD10k.
Thanks

SL55 Conversion to SL63
Hi,
I have a 2006 SL55 with the 030 package.
I converted it to the 2010 SL63 look. Every panel on the outside is a Factory MB part.
I can do it for $17K if interested.
