Facelift your 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG into a 2009 MY

If you happen to own a pre-facelift Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG but at the same time you're more fond of the redesigned version that was introduced at last year's Geneva Motor Show, then you have two options; either go buy the '09 model or give Inden-Design a call as the German tuner has developed a new package that will transform your pre-2008 SL 65 AMG into a 2009 model.

Using original AMG parts, Inden-Design replaces the pre-2008 SL 65 AMG's bonnet, front and rear bumper, grille, headlamps, side skirts, exterior mirrors and exhaust pipes to attain the MY09 look. These changes are complemented by a set of new 19-inch alloys shod in high-performance tires (255/30-19 up front and 305/25-19 at the rear).

Interior changes are limited to the new four-spoke steering wheel dressed in alcantara derived from the SL 65 AMG's evil-twin, the Black Series model.

Furthermore, Inden-Design offers a performance kit that includes a re-engineered turbocharger, a new intercooler, modified ECU and an extra gear oil cooler that helps the bi-turbocharged V12 engine produce an additional 68-horspower for a total output of 680HP.
