I think this is a very simple three stage process:

1. Sell SL.
2. Rob a Bank.
3. Purchase SLR.

My understanding is that the SLR is a completley different car, only related by the similar(ish) name. That said perhaps someone does a kit - after all by sitting an elephant on your car you can make it look like a Pegeuot :)

I have to ask the real question though - why would you want to spoil a perfect SL by pretending it is something else?

Mark.

I doubt whether it would be possible. The SLR is a lot longer than the SL with a huge bonnet and a short passenger cell. Any body kit would just look daft as all the proportions would be way out of whack.
Plus, IMHO, adding a 'conversion kit' to a car as beautiful as an SL is sacriledge.

Project Kahn have been "improving" cars for a few years now ;)

And can put an SLR nose and body kit on your SL

They'll do 20" wheels or even larger which will compromise the ride and handling of your car, but people buy them for the looks anyway. :D
