New to the forum, Some minor mods...

I own a 2007 C230 in white with some minor mods already (AMG exhaust, debadged, OEM sport rims). I plan on getting a star grille, a flat badge, and a carbon fibre lip within the near future.

I'll be posting pics of the car soon.

Anyway, what do you guys think of this star-grille for 230 USD.

I was gonna pick up a flat badge off ebay and worry about the CF lip later. But just wanted to know your opinions on the grille

Thanks Guys

Heres a pic of my car with that grille, just so you have an idea. If you do decide to get it, i suggest painting the vertical slats black. I did this with a paint marker.

Nice car for a 17 year old... i'm sure you can find this grille cheaper on ebay...

its just the tips not the whole exhaust system. and i didn't do the work myself. first owner did.

all i've personally done so far is debadge and traded in the rims the previous owner had for used OEM sport rims cause i thought they didn't go well with the car

My Two Cents...

Big Star Grilles belong on...

1.) Coupes
2.) Roadsters
3.) Trucks
4.) SUVs

(This goes to the Marketing Team at M-B as well, I know the Engineers and Designers didn't do that to the w204)

Those AMG tips come stock on the '07 models.

Seems to be a little bit of a contradiction here.
