Who thinks 2018 S63/S65 Coupe grille needs to be in 2018 S63 sedan?
Hello,
I'm not good in Aftermarket industry stuff and also not good in Photoshop. But who thinks the AMG GT R grille will be nice in S63/S65 sedan also? http://indianautosblog.com/wp-conten...-rendering.jpg http://digestcars.com/wp-content/upl...TR-660x300.jpg what do you think guys? |
There is a thread over on one of the C boards with this discussion, I like to see one on a S as well....something different :)
|
I think the exact opposite. It's a shame Mercedes slaps the same grills on just about every car, just like their AMG wheel options. The S-class wheels are identical to the ones on the C-class, apart from size.
That grill makes sense on the AMG GT series as those are sports cars, but not on some silly SUV (GLC) or the S class for that matter. |

The day I can't buy an S or E Class sedan, with the little 3-pointed star sitting on top of the hood, where it BELONGS, will probably be the day I buy a different brand. However, if they were to offer the OPTION of the sport grill, that would be fine with me, as long as I can still have what I want.
but I'm really into the sporty grille. I wish I have photoshop skills to make one picture. 2018 S450/S560 with sport package and GT grille :D |
No, no, no, I don't think even the E class sedan should have the sports grille.
There should ALWAYS be clear differentiation between the nose of the sedan and the coupe. And they better make the panamericana grille exclusive to the GT models and the S63/S65 models, the real AMG models, not the lesser E43, C43, CLA45 models, etc. |
^hope MB doesn't read that or they will haha......are you a Gojira fan? (metal)

Again if their is a Photoshop designer can give us an idea how GT grille looks with S-Class sedan since the sedan has different front end :) |

I was thinking the same that GT grille belongs to GT cars until Mercedes announces the new S63 Coupe with GT grille!

Someone Rendered AMG GT grille!
Hello everyone,
Here is an S450/S560 base model with AMG Kit and Rendered with Panamericana grille (AMG GT grille). Also can be done with S63/S65 Model. The idea is simple. It’s only an aftermarket high quality grille. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...9a0c7f92f.jpeg Of course the outter body of the grille won’t be changed, so mercedes 3-pointed star emblem will still stand on the modified car. all works done by: Emir Rime from Germany 🇩🇪 Thanks to him |

Are they the same exact make and model Goodyear 20" tire? __________________ Jason B s550-diamond-white-black-amg-pano-etc-pics Sorry, Jason. Been preoccupied. The 18 560 came w/ 19” Michelin run flats. My beloved quiet 15 550 had 53R 20” wheels w/ Goodyear run flats. Dealer GM bought my old 550. Trying to talk him into a wheel and tire exchange. I cant get over the increased exterior noise penetration into the cabin compared to my old 550. Same noise level as the Tesla S P100D I fest drove for a week. Crazy fast but very firm ride and similar noise penetration issue. |

Actually, I didn’t check tire pressures. Fair point. I’ll be driving more 560’s this week. More alarming concern is the big increase in traffic noise penetration. The wheel / tires issue can get solved. No idea what is going on with the noise penetration. The car doesn’t have that serene isolation I grew to love in the 550. Sure didn’t see this coming. |

God no. That grill is hideous. The fewer Mercedes it shows up on the better. |

Congrats, take it easy on the Comand as it's said it's not as intuitive as BMW's i-Drive .
Nice car Happy Driving |
XPEL is a must. In winter conditions the side skirts, lower doors and bumpers are going to take a beating.

If you're going to keep the car, get it Xpel'd ... if not, all you're doing is keeping the car nice for the next owner in 3 years, and you won't see much of that $6K back in resale value
