While sipping my morning cup of java and checking out Jalopnik this  
morning, I stumbled upon a story they ran about a new Project Kahn SL.

Honestly, I didn't even now Project Kahn worked on Mercedes, I know  
them more for their work on Range Rovers.

It seems they do indeed do a little work on Mercedes; in fact, they  
recently unveiled a new SL package dubbed the KSLR, perfect for  
anyone that wants to add a touch of SLR (or SLK, if you prefer) to  
their SL. For a mere 7,500 quid (about $13,000 USD) gets you a shiny  
new SLR front end, complete with SLR nose cone and front bumper.  If  
that's not enough for you Kahn also offers a full line of other  
products to spruce up your SL, including a new exhaust system ($1,773  
USD), a 20" wheel and tire combo ($4,439 USD), and new Nappa leather  
seats ($4,439 USD).  They also have a couple complete cars available  
if you're interested.

So what do you think, is it a daring new kit for your SL or a cheap  
SLR knockoff? We dare not make the call.
