Black grill on silver w203 too much contrast?
If my car was black, I would totally black out the grill in a jiffy, but when I searched through the forums, I could only find people who had black cars who had blacked out their grills, very few with silver/white cars, infact, I didn't find a picture of such combination..
So my question is, would it be too much of a contrast? I have no mods to the front end except a flat-badge and soon to be HID's.
Plus, what would be best to paint? The silver slats, everything except for the chrome around the grill, or the whole thing?
Thanks!

keep it stock. if that is your only visual mod, then it will look completely out of place.
until you have some more mods, I would suggest just keeping it stock for now.

I agree with Phil, you have to have other black to go with the grill. Vinyl roof and CF wing coming soon and projectors/bix to make front look more aggressive
Edit:
Also maybe smoked light (lightly not tooo dark)

I have a silver w203 and the black and silver combo is very nice.
- Get the 3 slat grille then wrap the chrome with the 3m dinoc cf vinyl.
- get a spoiler
- debadge
- tint windows
- lowering kit
These are subtle mods that will definitely improve the look on your car
