I spent some time cleaning my car today and stood back to admire my efforts. After washing off several weeks of muck and grime it occurred to me just what a fantastic looking car the W220 SClass is.

So proud of it I thought I would share some piccys! :p

The front lights though
 
The W220 is a very beautiful and elegant design, it's by far the best looking s-class I have owned.

I will get a W221 at some point and even though that is a lot of car and another step forward in functional terms, I prefer the looks of the W220. :)
 
Thanks...

I test drove a W221 yesterday, very nice.

Just cant get on with the design at the rear though it lacks the fluid lines of the W220..

Once your inside though its a lovely car to drive.
 
Stunning car! Some interesting mods you have done there! The wheels set it off beautifully! Credit to you.
 
looks great. the pug comment sounds like an insult to me!!!
 
The W220 is my favourite also, being a lot more elegant than the W221, although the 221 does have more "road presence" ultimately.

Watched "Custom my Ride" last night, featuring a W221 (S550 I think) turned into a 2 door coupe! Very slick job, looking much like a larger CL. Did anyone else see it?
 
Damn I missed that!

Not sue about all this pimping business though, surely better just to by a CL or CLS?
 
I did that recently, stood back after giving the car a good clean and thought, 'that is a really nice looking car'. I think that it will age well. I actually prefer the W220 interior compared to the newer version, it feels far more light and airy. Every time I look at the new one I just get 7 Series, especially the interior :eek:.

Actually I sat in the new CL at a MB dealer last week and noticed that the steering wheel and pedals were off set a little, not 911 off set, but noticeable. Is the new S class the same? The 220 has the steering wheel and pedals perfectly aligned.
 
Nice car, but the lights look like they need a good wash man, why did Mercedes use those lights???
 
Damn I missed that!

Yeah, I agree. I'm not sure about the build integrity either as they had to cut the roof and B pillars off, fabricate a new roof and then cut and shut the doors!!! Dread to think what would happen in an accident!!

The geezer who ordered the car wanted a larger coupe than either CL or CLS! Hmmm....

Also, what would you insure or tax the car as once it's been pimped?? :)
 
:bannana:great cars ! S class old shape are so cool! My brother had an S500 until last november...loved soft closing doors and engine noise...
Pjay ! Look after it !
