It is clear as to why you've won first place! Impeccable choices resulting in a truly unique accomplishment.
Keep the bar high, it gives the rest of us motivation!

First and foremost, Oxygen, I think you have the nicest 220 I've EVER seen. I love everything you've done to it, including the wheels. Very nice choice.

Now, I hate to rain on the parade, but it looks like there's quite a large gap between your front bumper and grill + headlights.

Yes. I agree- nice photog work along with the great car. You obviously used a pretty long lens on some of those interior shots. What are you shooting with?

Interesting.. I see what you mean. I would not call it "quite a large gap" though... comparing to this Mercedes photo:



The hood could be lower by maybe .5" of an inch... I will check into that.

Once again, that car is so gorgeous.

Is it the white balance, or do your cluster screens actually have a blue background?

Just the way the camera reacts to the fluorescent lighting in the cluster...

Here is a corrected picture:

Ah okay, so all W220 clusters have the same color I guess.

Never noticed the numbers 300 and 340 are a different font. Such an unusual cluster!

You're right - "quite a large gap" was a bit of an exaggeration. I should've said slight gap or something similar. Has it always been like this? I've never noticed it before in other pics of your car.

my car has a bit of a big gap there as well. I've come to accept it as normal.

Did you see the picture Oxygen posted above of the gray W220? That kind of gap is normal. Anything larger is not for the 2003+ MY 220's.

^ That's smaller than my gap... I will investigate and see what can be adjusted/how it can be adjusted. Never been in any kind of accidents.

Try unloosen your grill a bit to see it would drop down a few MM
