I agree. There have been so many ideas discussed here on the forum on how to mod our front grills...some did photochops to make it look more like the SLK. Now that someone has actually done the mod, I'm 50/50. It seams to have an identity crisis. IMHO

we need eric or mr. cumberford to comment aesthetically. i prefer the crossfire prototype and don't care for the "branding" of our car's fascia. but...that's just nitpicking when you have an srt.

Why not just buy an SLK? Then you don't have to spend all that time apologizing and/or explaining your schizophrenic ride.

Sorry, it's not my cup of tea.

If the steering wheel airbag was activated in a crash and that Merc logo smacked you in the face nobody would have to ask what car you were driving when you had your accident.

Not only do I like it, I appreciate the time effort and work that someone put into what appears to be a tastful custom of sorts,,,an SRT wing would look nice and some kind of trim piece on the front of the grill besides the MB emblem.

I appreciate the work that has gone into it but genuinly feel that the Crossfire looks better as it's intended. The SLK front is girly IMO even though it's like a baby SLR front end.

I honestly think it could be quite a unique thing to own. Think about it, it's the only one. Love it or hate it, the guy did a very nice job putting this together. You know you wouldn't drive it if you had it. It would be impossible to fix if you got in an accident. And we think we have a hard time getting body repairs done...

I like it a lot and there are alternatives to the MB stars. Some of the European Tuners have emblems to replace the Stars. It woudl have been very easy to change sterring wheels which would have looked much better. It also looks like the grafted the R171 SLK radiator support. It looks a little rough. they could have painted it to match the engine compartment. Also did anyone notice it has a V8 air box with V6 intake tubes? the wheels look very wrong to me. I think my SL550 wheels would look better on it.

Now this I really like as a front end. realistically speaking, how much work would have to be done to fit a front clip like this on, and how much do you think it would cost? Just curious is all as I have no experience with body modding at all.

And we thought body parts were hard to find for our cars… how would you get collision insurance something like that?

Stated value insurance, Grundy for one. They would probably insure that, they insure my Crossfire.
