Now thats a nice pic for a comparison. funny how just a grill can make it seem like a whole different car.

Damn! That pic's got me all messed up! I like all of them. I definitely glad I'm going to go with the flat hood emblem. Is the grill on the white one called the the 3 fin or something like that? I'm still new to this so I'm trying to get stuff figured out! Lol

I like the middle grill. One thing is for sure, seeing that pic just put me over the top about getting one. It just adds a certain flare to the C class.

I agree. The grill adds that "grown and sexy" look to me. Hopefully going to get somthing with that badass emblem right in the middle. Thanks for all the input fellas

There is a sticky in the main W203 page for the "White Star" hood badge. That's what people are talking about when they say the flat emblem. I think JBspeed sells some other flat badges too.

dont get a grill with the emblem... it looks out of place IMHO... get a cf grill like what Roland has.

heres one on ebay

A couple more comparisons for you:


STOCK BLACK


But my favorite was MBPhreaks custom one of grille which looked very similar to this one:

New 3-Fin grille on the W203. I tried my hardest to find a grille that wouldn't look aftermarket. Already getting a lot of compliment. Worthy investment for a front facelift. As you can see in photo, I removed the vertical star emblem; I bought a Black/Silver flat emblem from jbspeed.com (just takes 2 weeks to recieve it).

Hey, looks pretty good! How's the fit? ebay?

Can you post a pic with both the vertical star and the new grille on the car?

Norsk_Johnson

Hey thanks, @VVF. I took a while for me to decide, but I felt this one looks most OEM. I bought it here.

I took the vertical star off, waiting on my new flat emblem. Look here, it's pretty sick.

As requested..




New grille, w/ vertical star. IMHO, not a good look at all...




New flat emblem w/ new grill




Close-up.




Side-by-side comparison of complete transition. I'm beyond happy with the results of this subtle upgrade and has already produced a lot of compliments. Most people don't believe she's a 2005. Hope this helps, guys.
