Had a couple hrs free, wash + waxed W203! Warning: lotsa pics
So I was done w/ class, didn't have class for a couple hours and it was a nice day... Decided to wash and wax my baby...
I was rushed though, since I usually like to spend much longer on it... So I hope it turned out alright.
One thing I noticed:
Definitely gonna need those new wheels and clear fogs soon... and exhaust tips :-/

Looks good. Nice grill, that's my favorite type of CL grill. This is the first time I've seen that type of headlamps on a car before. I've seen them before somewhere else on this forum but it was just a picture of the part itself.

What do you think of the headlights? I mean to most people on this forum, it's obviously not OEM... But I guess I was just going for my personal taste over whether or not it looked stock. Curious to see what other people think of it tho...

Thanks man... The grill worked out pretty nicely (the silver matches the paint very well)...

Between the stock headlights (I'm referring to the one with the clear lens with a Bi-Xenon reflector) and your headlights, a superficial glance from the average person would not be sufficient for the average person to tell the difference between the two headlights, but for the more detail oriented person, they may appreciate the uniqueness and exclusivity of those headlights.
I have headlights similar to the headlights in rlee02135's signature (at this time). These headlights were what I was referring to in the previous paragraph.

Like you, I have a black car, if I were to acquire a CL grill, I'd get one in black. However, if I were to have a silver car and were to acquire said CL grill, I would actually opt for one in silver.
The silver grill on Moze's car has a bespoke feel to it. It gets more points from me than a silver car with a black grill. Besides, the whole point of the CL type grill is fluid and consistency (hence the absence of the side chrome rib bars), a silver CL grill on a silver car only increases the consistency and does so while gaining more points on consistency than the points would've been gained for contrast.
My $0.02 cents.

Car looks great. You did a nice job. I am not sure anyone can tell if your fogs are clear, and the factory Ronal wheels are nice too. So why change them? Got a Sat receiver or Ipod connection yet?
