Opinion Requested
Hi MB'ers,
I need your opinion about the grill that I've just installed on my c180. The grill color is silver and the car is Red..... should I leave it like this or paint the grill the same color as the car??

Y so few MB colors?
I've always dug red Benzos & other "off the beaten path" colored Mercedes'...I've always wondered why we see so few (at least in Dallas) red MB's & other colors? Hube! Buddy! U gotta paint that bad boy! At least photo shop it for peace of mind! (Ok...peace of mind for the rest of us!)

OK oK ok
My friends, I think I got the message loud and clear. I'll paint the grill. That's cheaper then painting the whole car. 
I'll post updated pics soon. Thank you so much to all of you for your opinions.

Depends
If you like it keep it. I went with silver on my white 230. Got some negative comments on the other forum. I think the silver looks cleaner than the black. The black looks a little more aggressive.

You and I tend to think alike. If it could have come from MB looking a specific way then I can live with it. When it is a brash & radical change I just don't like it. W203 grills in this market have come in light metallic grey, dark metallic grey and high gloss black on the Avantgarde - Never has the chrome been deleted - so any of those I can live with. Same goes for wheels. MB/AMG have had enough different wheels to choose from. I like genuine MB wheels on the car. I don't mind switching ranges. e.g. I think that the CLS 500 wheels look good on a C Class - I also feel that any wheel on a Merc must have the star logo at it's centre - preferably in chrome - Early W203s in this market had a silver painted plastic centre cap (see a few pics of coupe's on the forum like that so US obviously saw them as well). Think that looks a bit cheap. Blue laurel centre caps can also look OK, but me - I just like chrome logo on painted silver background - nice & subtle.
