I presume your question is whether to get a black or silver grille.
I say black, no matter what color car you have.

05+ grille. The CL grille looks even worse without the sport/AMG style bumper.

IMO, the CL grill never look quite right on a regular W203. It takes the focus from the rest of the front end since it is large and more square-ish instead of rectangular. I wish we could fit a CLK grill on a regular 203.

The 05 sport grill has fewer slats. I
