I have seen these conversions on various European car magazines. There are at least three or four companies that does them in Germany. Also, if I am not mistaken I have even seen an ad on the Dupont Registry about a similar conversion done in the U. S.

Funny thing though, I have always seen full conversions on the subject (front AND rear), using all original W220 front and read lights and bumpers. I have also seen several pics on conversion from R129 SL's to the new current model.

To my owm personal taste, and PLEASE: this is just my humble opinion, I don't quite like them. To me the W140 is the paramount and pinacle of Mercedes-Benz engineering and design (everything else from there just went downhill, including the W220). I am sure Mr. Bruno Sacco would agree with me on the matter.

Besides that, I congratulate the new board member on his new acquisition and hopes he will enjoy his new car for many years to come.
