Your car looks extremely nice. You have the same headlights as I. Have you re-finished them, bought parts for them, or purchased new ones? I could not find parts for mine, so I started to refinish the insides. Not as good as new.

If you are asking us how does she look... For me (with all my respect) she would look MUCH better with the original wheels/hubcaps (and also without the chrome wings, although this second point is not so essential)
These two little changes would improve a lot the look of the car (for me), because the rest of the car looks very nice!  :)

K & K manufacturing has replacements parts for the lights.

Your car looks gorgeous - I really like that color and with it, I think that the chrome wheel well "wings" look good. I do agree with Albert on the wheels, probably your car would look better with original steel (not alloy) 280 SL wheels.

I would remove the wheel arch chrome and put back on the original wheels, otherwise it looks great!
