then I suggest painting a pre-facelift Coupé grill in black.
There are some industrial paint stores, that will sell you authentic / original Mercedes-Benz paint, and put it in a spray-can for you.
I did that once with Brilliant Silver (744) and it worked great.
That way you're guaranteed a great match, as long as you spray correctly and evenly !

hey advans... i dont know if this is possible, but i took the liberty to photoshop your car to see what it would look like if you painted half of your chrome strips black to give it a CLK look.
i also attached a pic with the facelift grill on there for kicks

hmm... sometimes I think the best look for MY car, I think is the stock pre-facelift grill with the schatz strips (i have already).
I mean, the mattig grill is sexy as hell, but I dont have bi-x lol and it looks funky without bi-x.
So my second choice is a painted pre-facelift grill, and I dont know abt the grill star. I think leaving it chrome is tacky, and painting it black is weird as well.

Will the new 2007 C55 grill fit on c-coupe?
I don’t like my c-coupe grill with its glitzy chrome detailing and oversized MB star. 
Was looking at the new c55 at the dealership and loved the badge-less grill. will it fit my coupe?
Are the grills of any other model interchangeable
with mine? .. (like the C sedan and the CL grills)

as for sedan grills, they WILL NOT fit any coupe. not even if you "slightly" modify it, u'd have to modify alot.
and I dont think 2007 offers C55 amg, you must have been looking at 2006? (correct me if im wrong)
your only options are said above.
Custom your pre-facelift grill.
Buy a facelift grill (or customize it)
Buy a Mattig Grill.
thats about it. we have no other choice.

The 05 Evolution Grille is the best bet. When I switched out my stock grille for the Evo version I painted it a smokey silver, the bright silver it came in is too close to the color of my car.

no title
the only "star less" grill you can grab for the c coupe is the MATTIG GRILL, offered for the C COUPE.
as for sedan grills, they WILL NOT fit any coupe. not even if you "slightly" modify it, u'd have to modify alot.

Buy from Mattig?
Has anyone bought straight from Mattig. It looks like the grills are only about 87 Euro on their website (under $120 US, I think). I couldn't find information on whether they can/will sell and ship to the US though. Any experience with this?
I notice the above price includes VAT (18%, I think), which we could presumably get back? That would probably pay for at least 1/2 of the shipping.
