Converting your Mercedes-Benz SL to an SLR

For those of you “poor” babies would could only afford a Mercedes SL when your really wanted the SLR, well, rejoice!

There is now a kit that will make you car resemble the achingly cool SLR while simultaneously making it less desirable than both.

Consisting of front and rear fascias, a hood, and a rear spoiler, the kit costs $59,700 (if you choose to forego the wing mirrors and SLR like door movement the price drops to $39,000). A larger wheel and tire package helps to further the look, but unfortunately the car comes no closer to performing like the SLR.

And in a surprising bit of sense, the kit is offered by Global Imports of Las Vegas. Truly fitting, as only in Las Vegas would cars go so far as to be something they are not; like their owners.

Our take? A cosmetic package only, and on that makes the high end SL bear a more striking resemblance to the lesser SLK than the range topping SLR.
