Need help cosmetically my W220 (EXTERIOR)

Hey guys, so as the title says i need help making my w220 look better. Its a gold 2002 (before the facelift) and i need it to look alot better. What i want to do is add some brabus monoblock wheels soon and add the w222 headlights. I want to do an exhaust but its still a family car so thats out of the question. Also i want to get some kind w221 s63 or s65 front bumper but cant find any or i would have to get one custom made (also pictures included). i rather have some upgraded w221 kind of bumper instead of the normal w220 facelift bumper and since any fourm post i find with anything related to the w220 is back from 2010 so i thought i would make my own. im very curious to see what you guys can suggest. -Nick

Vinyl wrap the car , maybe a matte pearl blue or burgundy .

Nothing is going to make that gold color look hot , unless you go vip with some gold center wheels with fat chrome lips

Even when the paint is brand new that gold color is a little old lady color. There's nothing you can do to that color car to make it look good

Yeah I agree with everyone's comments about the gold color..... I suggest just wrapping the car in matte white. Trust me, it will look A LOT better. Also get a facelift hood w/grille and facelift AMG body kit. Needs new rims, facelift tail lights, W222 style headlights and quad exhaust. Basically, a sh*t ton of work if you wanna make this thing look good.
