Sick!
Only thing I would change would be to get rid of that front plate, but you seem like a good law abiding citizen so you probably will keep it there.

the holes are already in there, and being a guy who looks 20 in an S-class, I don't need another reason to get pulled over.
Thanks!
Thanks!

The interior is beautiful! But i'm worried about how it would smell after a couple more years because I have a friend who owns a previous genration s-class that now smells like a big box of crayons so thats the only thing I'm worried about in my car, other than that the W220 is perfect but just a little underpowered, 279hp for my S430, and i know its a luxury sedan thats built for comfort not speed but I really wanted some extra power to play with...let me stop here or else i'll keep going on with this pointless rant about the car!! anyways your car is very nice good choice....

wait, what does my interior have to do with smelling like crayons? Its 4 years old and still has a pretty strong leather scent...can't see that changing that much.
Definitely my favorite W220 combination.

Hey Oliver, how is the ride on those 18s? What tire size are you running? I have stock 17s right now on my 4Matic I want to upgrade to 18s but wondering if the ride would be really harsh. And also do you have ABC?
What color is the car ?

The ride is generally quite acceptable, but can be rough under certain rare situations. I've noticed it can be quite jarring especially when braking hard and hitting a bump at the same time.
A luxury car's ride can really never be too soft for me so my ideal world would be wheels/tires that looked like 18s but rode like 16s. That said, I don't mind the slight ride comfort decrease for the enhanced look for the 18s.
I do not have ABC.
I would never call the ride "harsh", but over really bad roads, it can be a bit more jarring than I would like.
SS, thanks for the compliment. I think I can live without the 20s for the time being though

The AMG kit and 5 spokes monoblocks really makes it look aggressive!
Thanks for sharing the pictures. What percentage tint do you have on the rear?
