@ Ed.
Watched well. I unscrewed the bumpers a couple of weeks ago.
The Instrumente are already exchanged, too. The side lights come down in winter.
For your question: We live in a time, at which cars look always more like soap-pieces designed in a wind-channel. Many young people, who see a pagoda in the street today, don't even know what it is for a car brand. Till they see the Mercedes-Star.
I
m a incurable nostalgiker. So my pagoda is a toy for me, like a old metal-Toy for tall Boys and most important, a memory.
I have taken the last photos in the old East-Port of Frankfurt. Here stood till a couple of years ago, beautiful old storehouses, cranes and a very big old Market-Hall. At a young man, there I sometimes watched one's activities in the morning at 6.00 hours, how workers fruits have unloaded and packed.
Therefore I think, the immortal beauty of a pagoda can be shown in front of a quiet background like an old building or bridge best.

I noticed front bumper guards in some of the photos, but not in others. I assume you deleted them so that, along with the headlights you have a more Euro look. Now, consider losing those US side marker reflectors and no one will be the wiser (unless they look at the speedometer which I assume is MPH rather than KPH?)
These are some nice photos. Are you in the architecture/design profession in Germany? I ask because many of your shots are very 'architectural' in nature. Thanks for sharing.
