Yes, two rolls of duct tape should do it.

No, won't fit because headlights and grill are way different.

There was a "custom" Crossfire on EBAY (or Craigslist) a while back that had a SLK front end grafted onto it.
Some people liked it, others...not so much. One thing for sure, it was something very different.
I could't find it, but there are some photos of it somewhere here in the forum archives.

I'm pretty certain it will fit on the roof, but that's about it. Now get out your wallet and pay up.

Here the Cross/SLK

I think it looks kind of cool.

He could have made it much more appealing i.e. lower it, maybe put some nicer wheels etc etc. nevertheless good job!

Im a pretty big fan of the XF/slk but i feel just as you do either lower it or a chin spoiler and wheels are a must. All this work was short lived tho the front ends of the new slk 230s and 320s are much sexier than this model. That would be a project!!!

Crickey.

Our cars have identity issues as it is! That poor thing, while very pretty, has to have as many emotional issues as Lady Gaga.

Poor thing...

When I was a young kid, I used to see a Yellow taxi running around town that was built with 2 taxi front ends ..
( guess they had rear end collisions on 2 taxis )

Point is, I don't know why, but that picture of that thing with a MB front end and a Crossfire rear end made me think of that .....

Poor thing...
My car has been in the witness protection program for over 4 years now with a new identity.
Emotionally, it's been doing quite well.
Me?...not so much.

Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder........to each his own.

And that car would look sick with your engine bay,wing, and wheels Jim!

OP, looks like it's been done. Hope you don't have to shave an eyebrow or something weird like that.

Happy Holidays folks!!
