w203 CL Style Grille w/ Full Border

Hey all

Just bought my first Benz, 2006 c230 Sport Silver/Black
I switched over from a e46 328i which I loveddddddd but I've always liked MB and decided to go for it.

I'm looking to upgrade the look of my car and I want to change the grille and hood emblem, I've already ordered clear bumper lights.

After looking at 100's of pictures of the different grilles/colors/styles I found a picture of the one I want, my problem is I cannot find it for sale anywhere.......... this is very frustrating!!

Here's a picture of the grille, anyone know where I can get it?!?!?!

Thank you so much in advance!!!!!





Here's a link to a pic of this grille actually on a w203:

I mean, you can put whatever you want to on your car - that's your thing - I just don't think I'd get the one with the surround.

There are plenty of the Silver ones on ebay w/o the surround.

imo the star grilles look awful becasue the front of our cars are not as sharp as the w209 and w204. why not just keep the stock grille and black it out or something.
