Question CL-Type front grill

I'm going to get a CL-grill for my 2007 C280. What do you guys think will look better with granite gray the black or silver grill? I kinda like both so i'm torn and my wifes responce is "WHATEVER". Open to all the opinions i can get.

sorry missed that in your original post. I would say black will look better. Never really like the silver grill. And the silver on the grill is Brilliant Silver so it is a different shade right?

i think you should first wait until you get the car and then decided whether or not it needs to be changed. it might actually look fine not changing it.

If I leave the grill alone i'm at least gettin the flat badge becuase i dont like the standing emblem. what do you think about no star in front at all? If I do change the grill i think i'm leaning to the black. anyone else wanna pipe in

Yes if you change the grill make sure you change the badge as well. Looks cleaner that way.
