W223 S Class
Thoughts on chrome delete?

I have a 2022 graphite grey with sienna brown interior W223. I am thinking about doing a full chrome delete but not sure if I want to get rid of the elegance of the s class chrome. Any thoughts or options?

In my opinion, I am not a fan of a chrome delete on the S-Class. The S-Class just looks very stately and opulent especially with chrome. If I were to do a chrome delete, it would have to also be on a color that contrasts it well, such as white. I think Graphite Grey looks best with chrome as it brightens up the profile contrasting the color well, and truly makes the S-Class look like the expensive and elegant luxury car it is.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Since you have used the word ''elegance'' to describe the S-Class chrome, I suspect you somehow have a subtle favour of it. As such, why not wait a little bit longer and live with a full chrome S-Class and see if the looks gains (or loses) on you? Afterall, if you do a full chrome delete now (and then subsequently find out you do not like it), it is rather hard (and silly) to go back. But, you can always do it at a later date.

When I was a very young man, I was invited to play poker with some guys a few years older and ions wiser. When I got the deal, I asked if it were OK if I made one-eyed jacks and all even numbered hearts wild. One of the other guys said “well, it’s your deal, you can #&!%!?§ it up any way you like.” I dealt a hand with deuces wild. Lost my *** to these guys, but learned so much, it was well worth it.

appears to look/work well for the front bumper, especially with the dark body color. give it a try...especially if u do it in vinyl, all it'll cost you is time and money, and easily removable if u decide it's not for u.

If it was mine then I would not change a thing about the look. That color needs some chrome.

For dark colored cars, the chrome looks good.
