Its up to you, but personally I like some contrast on the light colors. If I had a light colored car (silver/white) I'd go for a black grille, black center rims, and maybe lightly tint the tails.

white and whiter
that's probably the whitest W203 we've seen. Saw those pics before. That's definitely not alabaster white we get in the states btw. It looks more like the Glacier White that other country still get. I also don't think Alabaster white can look as good like that because it's yellowish compare to Glacier White.

I'm missing it, sorry. Exactly what are you considering whitening out (that hasn't already been whitened)? I love white cars, but I'm not following which parts you are thinking about.

White grille looks good, but keep the slats black inside, just like the picture (and in all the OEM sport girlles). I think it needs the black contrast to keep an "aggressive" look.

i think i like your idea, but i would use vinyl stickers first just to see what it would look like, if you like it then paint it and if you don't peel off the sticker. post some pictures when you're done. goodluck

i would do it..actually ive been thinking bout doing that to mine too.. i have a white C as well an 06, i love the way it looks...painting shouldnt cost u more than 70-80 bucks if that...nice little mod. Does anyone know where i can find a grille that looks like the oem but with no center vertical line, ive seen em on clk's and on a few C's its definitely an aftermarket grille, im dying to find it, but cant.

Definitely gotta leave some black in there. There is a point where it is too much. Right now it doesn't look bad but I think the front grille probably needs a little bit more contrast. However I would not white out any of the chrome. It gives the car a little bit more sophistication.
Honestly, just keep it simple. Overdone = 10x worse than not doing anything.
