Controversial German car customizer ASMA Design has put together an appearance package for the 2007 Mercedes S-Class that, like the firm’s other kits, gives the car more angular lines and a giant grille reminiscent of Darth Vader’s mask. ASMA previously unveiled the Mercedes CLS Shark II and the M-Class Gladiator II. The S-Class kit uses the Eagle I moniker. Gallery after the jump…

I think that’s hideous! It looks like some oversized jewelry around a somebody’s neck. It’s shouting “HEY! YO! CHECK THIS OUT!!!! MORE BLING!!!.” Well, someone’s gonna spend good money on this crap.

They went from dumb all the way to stupid. Wish these companies would just stick with mucking up Cobalts and mullet-mobiles and leave the fine, German automobiles alone.
Underneath that mess is a fine car.

Eurotrash,
I’d rather have the distinctive shield grill than the non-descriptive and ‘eh’ looking 3-Series (E90) grill any day.

Jon, funny how you didn’t describe Audi’s grille as good looking or beautiful. I know it’s all a personal preference. I understand Audi’s attempt to distinguish themselves with the wide open mouth grille, but it’s still ugly. Even if it’s ‘distinctive’, it’s still ugly.

It’s not beautiful. It’s poised and thoroughly Germanic in everyway. It’s aggressive and balanced; it conveys the link to the Silver Arrow past, while transmitting the future of Audi as well, using a polarizing design that solidifies the brand across every car they make. The Shield Grill achieves everything it sets out to do and does it flawlessly.

Ok most of us can agree the grill is terrible looking. What are they trying to do? Make something before that was boring and make it look extrodinarily by slapping on a big grill?

bangle is a great designer, dont try and somehow relate him to this hideous piece of ****, his designs clearly are good or else the 7 series and 5 series wouldnt sell so damn well, and every other car manufacturer is copying his design elements to boot. but this grille is awful. end of story.

Chris Bangle is NOT a great designer. He has single handedly destroyed BMW’s sporty yet classy looks. Don’t get me wrong, I am well aware that beauty is subjective. You must admit, however, that the current BMW’s design is rather bland and unfortunatley, toyish looking. They no longer look like a serious man’s car. You can’t take the car seriously when you look at it. Yes these cars move and yes they handle brilliantly… but the design is lacking. Now back to the topic… yes I agree this grill is hideous and there is no need to touch an S-class. It speaks for itself. An AMG package is all you need. End of story.

the s-class is fine the way it is…putting all these scoops, awkard grill and side skirts on make it look like an import tuner. if anything, it should look simpler because luxury cars make their presence known by sheer simplicity and elegance.

Why are all these designers putting tuner quality vents and body kits on expensive luxury sedans? Back in the day the designers had it right. Simple is key. It’s a lot harder to make a car look slick and sleek and bad ass, but it’s easy to make one look cluttered and unbalenced. Eh, ASMA needs to find a civic and try to make that look and drive like an S-Class. That would be news worthy.
