Dude must have had some spare parts lying around. How can he even sell this as a Mercedes. Can't even imagine what it must look like on the inside.

This is the ugliest thing I've ever seen...... Maybe a W220 with a W140 front end would have been cool, but holy crap this guy got it all wrong.

I must be the only one who likes it

Its a vintage late 80s mustang front nose , looks like a fiberglass racing front end- incorporated into the s class. I'm guessing this s class had minor front end damage and they had a used mustang race nose

The craftsmanship actually looks very good

I thought that too initially, but look at the hood shut lines

I disagree. I see no photoshopping at all. Does make your eyes want to bleed though.
