I'm planning on getting new grill for my car really soon but I just can't seem to decide which one. I've searched on this forum for pictures and threads but just can't seem to find anything relavent.

I own a white c240 and am debating in whether to get the black grill with chrome accents, silver with chrome accents, or all chrome...suggestions please?? THANKS

go for the black one...

the second one kinda looks like yours

go with the black grill and get some black rims and black tints

I would go with the black one as the first choice, then second the chrome one. Forget the silver....

black grille w/o a question...

If you HAVE TO get a CL type grille, get the black but I prefer your stock grille.

Ditto

why's that ... don't you think the stock grill is a bit too plain ... =/

No, I think it's cleaner and classier. I had the CL type grille on my sedan way back when for a different look, but ended up putting the stock grille back on. Here's some pics for reference...

You're soo right .. it does look cleaner with the stock grill. But the thing is your stock is nicer than mine b/c it's chrome. mine is really ugly =(

OEM is the best way to go. save your money and play with it at a later date. if clean is your look, if not, then by all means get the black one

here are some pics on my old c230.

CL


OEM/ much better like this:

+1

I say paint your front grille flat black. Looks nice on a white car.

Personally, I'm partial to the MH-Dezent grille, just cuz it's on my car and mine is color matched (except for the star portion).

I think the silver and chrome will have a nice flow with your car...if not paint the stock grill is your other option to have the unique appeal..

+2, stock grille still look the best.
Just save your money and get Euro strip instead ?

Black one will look good, even if you want to keep the rims...the black ones have chrome in them, so it would still look good...blake ur car looks very clean...and I agree with going back to stock grille on ur car...it looks nice, ever think of puttin your emblem back though since u went back to stock grille? just curious, and I'm well aware of the argument about this...just want ur thought...cuz a cl grille for me is a possibility but not for a long while, as my budget is strict.

after


now

i like starless grille or stock grille with flat star maybe is the one that blake is having

Those are old pics. My sedan was totalled about a year ago. I prefer the flat badge on any Benz rather than the stand up star hood ornament.

Love ur rim selection i say go black. Black + white = ftw

thanks =)


OKAY then it's settled....i'm gonna get the black w/chrome accents !! i dont careeee if it looks dirty cause i like it once i get tired of it i'll change it back hahaha. thanks for everyones opinions

dont get the CL grille...i think its a bit too big for the front...plus im sure you dont have the AMG kit so itll really overpower the look of ur car..lower..get rims..crs kit all around. IMO. bout time we get cute girls on the forum

My thoughts exactly. The CL grille only looks good if you look at it straight on, but when you start looking at it from an angle the front starts bulging out. If it was the C55 w/ expression grille, now that would be a different story.
