I would not put "gills" or a wing spoiler on a 220, or any large sedan.

same for the double fog/driving lights (singles wouldn't be so bad)

it really is trying to hard, and not my cup of tea either

It doesn't seem to flow...

1. Get rid of the CL/SL star on the grill. The S doesn't look right with it on.
2. The exhaust tips should be integrated into the rear bumper, not hanging underneat the bumper.
3. The front lower bumper is too busy.
4. The wheels are little ghetto fabulous for me...

Other than that, I like the white color.

I like the rear fenders, but the rest is just to much. It needs to be less aggressive. Buy the way how much are the rear side skirts?

I think if someone was to use those fenders in a much less agressive kit, it could be pulled off.

It so looses the elegance of the S class. This looks like "Fast and the Furious" gone bad...
