Ghetto

It almost looks like someone wanted to channel a tricked out ghetto Chrysler 300. In fact, this IS a ghetto tricked out Mercedes. Do the wheels keep spinning when the car stops moving?

C350 AMG kit 4Matic
Question Is it an old wells fargo?

Man, talk about ugly! What was the guy thinking?
looks like they took a grill off of an old 50,s fargo. Talk about inflicting pain on everyone commuting who is going to see it on the road. This thing may cause sudden accidents as drivers gawk at what was once a nice automobile. I have a C350 4Matic and I wouldn't trade it for the world!

I wouldn't want to get too close to that dark patch. You probably would hear sounds of the wild coming from that thing! The car is scary as well!
I respect the choice for the fella that decided at gun point to make it that way!
I wouldn't mind trying out the car though. As long as I can drive in the parking lot and stay off the streets.
But kidding aside. I respect his opinion.

CLS
I am gonna say what everyone else did not dare to say , This body Kit is really old , am pretty sure I have seen it on the streets around 2006 ! and now we are talking about it ? really ? I think we are trash talking the dealer because the author of this topic did not get the attention or the respect he expected to get. And to me this seems nothing but a payback.

Why would anyone want to disfigure a Benz to that extent? He must be a Lexus lover! Their latest, the IS350, also has the most ugliest grill (now the second most ugliest) I've ever seen.

Double Ugly with Nuts on Top

If you dislike the beautiful MB front end, then you shouldn't have bought one. Tasteful mods are fine, but this one sux.

We are mostly Mercedes fanatics in this forum and tearing down the guy who created this monstrosity is not cruel or unusual. This modified Benz does not look like a Benz nor does it look like a snowplow. It just doesn't have the "Benz" touch. Anyone who disfigures a Mercedes into a Lexus does not really get the Benz experience.
It's simply a "miss"

You guys are morons who are saying the car is totaled.. its a front bumper... you can replace the front plastic for less than $200 bucks if you want to do all the work yourself transferring all the sensors, and grill pieces etc. It's time consuming but better than paying someone else to do it. And from the back it doesn't look too bad... This car is easily fixable

Look, we are not morons. The reason this issue got everybody's nickers on fire is that you don't deface such a great car. The mod ruined the car. We are simply stating that this car is not upgraded it's downgraded!
Heck maybe this guy has some awesome merc hidden somewhere, who knows. This model he decided to display wouldn't even please a youngster for his first car! It's a bloody joke.
I may be a moron but I am a moron with better taste than thinking this mod works!

Maybach?

If this thing was modified to look like a Maybach excelero, they failed at the attempt.
You did spell it right but this thing in no way compares to the excelero.
I would get rid of it, declare it stolen and collect the cash.
It's the only way he's gonna make any money from it!
He's got guts though to showcase it in his showroom!

It is more than a bumper and $200, so before spouting off the word moron, think, look, and know your benz's before you actually insert foot in the mouth, because a quick look at the images, that I spent a whole 10 seconds looking at, I noticed fenders, grill, lower grill and rear bumper. I am not sure what $$ sign you are looking at or referring to, but 200 US dollars is not going to fix that. Further I noticed that the drivers fender, bumper, and headlight have gaps.

Now i am sure i can pick it apart if i really wanted to look at it, but it is hideous in the font, or some very bad execution of an idea.

What else i would be worried about is the rims, what other short cuts could have been taken?
