Temporary W203 Grille

While waiting for my CF look grille to arrive thought i would have a go at painting my old grille. Rubbed down chrome, 3 coats of primer and 2 coats of black metallic plasti-cote. Here are a couple of pics of new look.

When you get the CF Grille, you should sell that one since that looks good.

Looks good on your car.

I feel like the front end on my car looks too girly. I was thinking about getting on of the silver CL grilles off ebay (my car is brilliant silver). But I'm having second thoughts since a lot of people don't like the way they look. Not to hijack your thread, but do you guys have any interesting ideas?

As my car is Diamond Black, and i have black projector headlights and black projector fogs, i think it suits a black grille as it gives a more aggresive look to the car. However, at the end of the day its down to personal choice. I had the big star chrome grille on mine, but it just didn't look right on a lighter colour car probably suit much better.
