Here is my new hood concept with photoshop
I am getting another hood and my idea is to raise the center of the hood by 8 cm (3.1 inch)
this allows to integrate a sophisticated air to air filter or cooling mod

Looks a bit like a Bentley GT hood
Let me know what you think

You're crazy. I like it.

I think the bulge in the hood will be too much in reality, the car is very low/wide/sleek in the front, the bentley is huge and ponderous, so the bulge doesn't matter, but I feel it will mess up the lines too much on the CL.


Have you considered a power bulge that doesn't extend to the grille? Like a late model 350Z?

Hi Joe !

I understand, but you forgot the purpose of doing this
look at this one someone made, same purpose but not really discreet




also, this is what the stuff inside will look like



anyway, if I don't try, i'll never know...

Fantastic ! I love it !

are you going to use a w220 s class grille? Please do , it will give it a custom yet factory look .

there is a long history of tuners putting coupe front ends on S class sedans , and putting Sclass sedan front end on the coupe

i love the idea of just using the larger grille instead of the entire w220 front end

thx !

My first idea is to use a 2 Brabus grilles
the upgrade is 2 blades added

I've tried to figure out if star or not, and at the moment, answer is "no star"
because the star should be bigger to fit in terms of design

but I'll look into other MB models
any ideas are welcome !

No star !

use either a w220 sedan grille or a w140 s600 sedan grille as that had more bars
