you MUST see this site - HYSTERICAL SL55 Rip Off

Even though you may have seen my thread about recently having my car stolen (still not recovered by the way), now and again something so funny comes along that even in these down moments I can crack a smile.

You have to see this to beleive it!!!

SL55 Fakes!!!

I like the Volvo V70R and S60R - oh, and the AMG SL55 or SL65
Errr... I'm probably the biggest MB / DC / AMG afficionado despite not owning one right now yet I could probably recognize one of these conversion kits immediately. There are too many give aways - for example the squarish (old style) pop up roll bar design.

IMHO, it would be a wiser decision to sell the old style SL without transforming it, and use the income to buy a new style SL.

My $0.02.

I like them. Nothing wrong with the conversion kits if you have a W129 SL and wan't to make it look like a W230.
