Compared with most of its predecessors, the current generation of the Mercedes-Benz SL Roadster is not exactly heralded as the pretties of them all, with quite a large amount of opinions actually being on the contrary.
Not to say that the SL (R231) is ugly, but it certainly could have had a nicer-looking front end, or at least one that is inline with how the rear looks.
The tuning specialists from Piecha Design and JMS have a similar opinion about the design of the R231 apparently, and they actually decided to do something about it.
Meet the SL Avalange GT-R by Piecha Design, which in our view looks about 128 percent better than the standard Mercedes-Benz SL, even though if you think about it, not that much has been changed.
We are talking about a new engine grille that is slightly smaller, lower and which integrated the lines of the LED headlight “eyebrows” much better in the design of the front end.
The redesigned front bumper includes the new engine grille and part of the facelift-ed hood, while a pair of slightly-oversized air intakes on each side complete the much sportier front end.
The side gets new side skirts and polished aluminium side fins, while the rear gets a trunk-mounted spoiler lip and an aerodynamic diffuser.
The full details on the appearance-changing bodykit made in cooperation between JMS and Piecha Design will be released sometime in April, with the styling package to cost approximately EUR 12,000 ($16,750).
