CL Grille on a White W203

Hi there,

I'm asking for your suggestion in regard to a CL grill color for a White W203 Sedan. There are 2 grille choices:
1) Silver grille with chrome strips
2) Black grille with chrome strips

I tried to find some photos of these grilles mounted on White W203, and was partially successful - couldn't find a Black grill on a White W203.

Which one will look better? or perhaps neither?

Thank you,
Alon

I vote neither. I came really close to buying the grill in the first picture when I first bought my C, but now I'm happy I didn't. I like the general design of those grilles, but there is just something about it that looks tacky. You can tell it just does not belong with the rest of the design. If I had to choose between the two, then the first one wins.

I would black out your OEM grill. Looks better imo.

It looks great on your car, yet I must say that it would be perfect if the grille was White with Chrome strips, and not Silver with Chrome strips. This is why I'm not 100% confident this is the best choice, so I'm asking for your advice.

I checked the Extreme Dimensions GB - I prefer the CL style. It's a matter of taste.
