Prior Design Offers Mercedes-Benz SL Facelift Options


The newly facelifted Mercedes-Benz SL offers a much more aggressive design. What it also leaves are R230 chassis owners wishing they could revamp their front end to the new generation without forking over the cash for a whole new car. There have been several aftermarket manufacturers that are catering to that market, offering all new front ends – hood, fenders, headlights, front bumper – to convert their SL to match. Prior Design has put their bid in with one of the nicer and more complete kits on the market for those R230 owners looking to rejuvenate their car.



Mimicking the AMG Black Series, Prior Design's SL63 package is aggressive and offers no hint of subtlety to the conversion. Their version of the widebody isn't as aggressive as the AMG Black, offering a fine balance for the daily drivers that aren't looking at screaming for attention. Their demo car also sports a set of aggressively designed wheels that actually fit the overall theme of the car. We can't help but think that it wouldn't be as pretty of a sight if these wheels were on any other car.
