This black Mercedes-Benz S550L (W222) was built by bond Osaka around a layered VIP-style exterior and a staggered wheel setup. The pre-facelift S-Class, visually consistent with the 2013–2017 version, combines AIMGAIN Pure VIP bumpers and side skirts with Lorinser vented front wings. AIMGAIN roof and boot spoilers complete the body treatment. BC Forged NL26 wheels add brushed centres and polished rims, while Continental MaxContact MC5 tyres are identified by the builder. Yellow AMG-marked brake calipers appear in the photographs. AIMGAIN supplied body and exhaust components, Lorinser supplied the front wings, BC Forged supplied the wheels, and bond Osaka assembled the project; those roles should remain distinct.

Fitment & Wheel Setup
The BC Forged NL26 installation is staggered: 21 × 9 inches at the front and 21 × 10.5 inches at the rear, according to bond Osaka. Polished rims frame the brushed centres, and the builder specifically notes the rear wheel's concave appearance. Continental MaxContact MC5 tyres are named, but tire sizes and wheel offsets are not published in the source. The photographs show the wheels beneath the W222's widened visual treatment, including Lorinser front wings and AIMGAIN side skirts. A precise flush-fitment claim would require measurements or a confirmed final ride-height photograph, so the visual stance is described without inventing clearance or offset figures.
Performance & Suspension
bond Osaka reports that a lowering kit was already fitted and describes a later 20 mm drop after the initial handover. The gallery should not be treated as proof of that final ride height. The article identifies an AIMGAIN Power EVS exhaust with Carbon Type E tips and a centre section, but it does not document an engine power change. Yellow AMG-marked brake calipers are visible; the source does not establish a brake hardware upgrade. The confirmed mechanical story is therefore limited to the reported lowering adjustment and exhaust hardware.
