I think as far as illusions go... to a "normal" person any W220/W221 would seem like a very rich and luxurious vehicle (which it is) and as long as it's shiny and clean, there's nothing better looking than a W220 sedan. The car has timeless styling and has a very big presence.

Now as far as BIG chrome wheels, eBay grills, eBay door sills, eBay chrome rings, eBay door handle inserts and eBay LEDs - that's always been a big no-no for me and I think it's an insult to Mercedes in a way. The car's body is PERFECTION from the factory, no need to tack on anything else.

These are just my two cents... coming from someone who has owned three W220's in the past 6 years.
Agree totally and darn you beat me by one W220 lol
