I do not think the bumper is weird, It looka like a Lorinser with fog lights, but what looks ****ed up is the right front hood/headlight alignment, thats a big gap.

I hate to quote myself but lets look at some facts on this Black benz

1-the hood is like a inch off from the headlight

2-body kits are nice but WHY was the body kit installed???(could be just cause they like the style of that kit OR hiding something like ummm..been wrecked????

3-And the biggest flaw seen is WHY would a GREAT COND Mercedes be sold in a small used carlot in Japanand not @ a Starmark used lot????

i smell salvaged title gentlemen!

Hi
That front Bumper is surely Lorinser.
I had that one before on my car.Look at the pic.
The hood really looks a bit strange with the gap , but the black car looks nice for me.

Thanks Leloz
I can say the same for yours,it is just flawless and looks sweet ( although I'm a big fan of BIG RIMS, the 18" AMG's are very stylish.)
I promised before on the other thread , wher eyou show your cars , that I will show my cars as well , but my W140 is "under construction" now , and just had a terrible accident in my SEAT , so I couldn't post the pics yet.
Thie pic from my car was taken earlier , and I have the Carlsson Kit now.
I like nice Body Kits on the W140 , but some of the Kits on the pictures above are just too wild for me.
Have you found any interesting car for yourself Leloz?I think you were looking for one? BUT! Don't sell the BEAST!!
Dennis

I drive a 1997 S500 which I purchased new. How can any lover of the S500 do that to their car. Even the black one is nothing to get me exited. I will post some pics.of mine soon. In the meantime I am looking to upgrade my wheels to 18's which I did on my 98 SL500 and it looks awsome. Enjoy the ride. JOE
