Looks GREAT! I always say, the 2 cheapest mods for our c class that makes a world of difference are clear corners and avantgarde grill insert. Looks like you're on your way!

It's not a tough job. Clears take about 5 minutes per side and the grill about 30 minutes. This is of course me being distracted often and also having to spend time looking for the right tools.

I'm still looking for one.....
Grill that is. I see Autoblz has em for $70 but $25 in shipping is a bit high. I see
others on ebay but the seller has a lot of negative feedback. Still looking.... What other sources for these?

I paid $58 + $14 on ebay, but I shopped the sellers other items and found a fuel filter, and got him to agree to $100 total shipped. Seller is M Europarts, and currently has 47 w202 items for sale HERE. You might even just email directly to Al.
My grille is still in the box but I'll get it on by the end of the week and post B/A pics. Next up, corners!
