If you would've searched you would've found the movie someone made showing off all his mods.

MBW mod movie.

It's no problem. No need to apologize. A lot of people just don't know where to look, but here are some "key words" that'll help you in all your searches:

"clear lights" "grille" "wheels" "rims" "bodykits" "upgrades" "power mods" "w220 taillights" "silver bulbs" "spoiler" "bi-xenon" "mbenznl" "Comand" "suspension"

Those should give you more than enough threads to read. And don't be afraid to post in old threads that are already started because there will be many, like yourself, that had possibly never seen whatever thread it is you bring back from the dead. It will be MUCH better than starting a new thread that quite possibly had been discussed before.

Enjoy and welcome to MBWorld.

Back in the day you could only choose from a 'el cheapo' small star grille and an ultra expensive Big star grille...nowadays companies like formymercedes offer a similar alternative to the ultra expensive big star grille. IMHO the big star grille does not look good on a w203(yes, I did 'rock' a grille for a few years too). Just get the hood badge which I beilieve you can get anywhere for less than $50 bucks.
