People on MB boards have said the new S class looks like a Lexus when it was unveiled lol, without it's trademark grill & the 3 point star, it sure does. I like the IS350's headlights more.

Wheel fitment is great, very VIP, but the body-kits are awful, very POS. I would love for my LS to have that low-wide stance. Love it!!

am i the only one seeing the connection between the brand name (asma) and their grills that probably allow more air into the engine w/ those multiple big gaps? lol

Default Asma Mercedes CLS Shark II, & S . . .

Text & Photos courtesy Asma GmbH
11-28-2005





Editor's Note: Translated by WorldCarFans.com

The new front of the CLS Shark II provides for sportiness and individuality. After the CLS Shark I provided plenty of sensation in the tuning scene, Asma felt compelled to expand on the concept.

With this new aerodynamic package the Asma CLS Shark II achieves a high level of sportiness.

The new front, with an extended grill, adjusted to the aggressive body kit transforms the Asma CLS Shark II into a real eye catcher. As if by the hand of Picasso, the air intakes in the tail as well as the extended bumper lend to the Asma CLS Shark II an individual shape in its entirety.

The perfection of the Asma CLS Shark II climaxes with the Asma Design rim 1!

I don't think the wheels are that bad, it's the grille that I dislike..
