You already have nice wheels. Other than perhaps upgrading the headlights, rear lenses and exhaust tips, you should save the money for suspension related problems.

I would send it for a nice detail and paint correction, and then polish the headlights since they may have yellowed. If the wheels have curb rash, refurb the wheels and there you go: a good looking S-Class
I'm not a fan of updating the lights etc. because the pre-facelift S-Classes have a distinct, elegant look that the newer ones don't have. It is simply classic

I agree with CarboyS 100%.
I have been keeping mine clean and as built.

yeah i just took care of the suspension issues so now im thinking about having the car repainted and adding a sound system

My family used to have two of them (2000 and 2006) until someone crashed into the old one. And to this day I still believe what I believe.

What have you taken care of in the suspension so far and how many miles on the car.
Are you repainting the silver again due to some problems or are you changing color because you don't like the silver?

I am repainting it silver because of some everyday wear and the suspension was swapped from air so I don't have anymore airbags or air compressor I didn't want to have to worry about it especially since this car is going to be a beater for me
