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!

paint the whole thing, and its not a lot of contrast, search more there is PLENTY for pictures
your best friend is the picture thread

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.

What would you guys suggest to match a black grill?

You could start with wheels/lowering to match a black grille...

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)

Here are some pics of my coupe with a silver and black grill...

Silver


Black


I personally like the black more.

usually i prefer black grills, but on your car the color matched grill looked much better

oh snaps karo, you got your cf lip installed? lookin good with those new wheels

His car is an elegance sedan from what I've seen in his avatar, not Sport Sedan, so vinyl roof/CF spoiler/BIX still wouldn't help much IMHO

Did you flip those tires yet?

The black is better IMO to compliment your roof, but I would have no sticker on the windshield if it were me

Thanks, Eric came by and did it because I was super paranoid of it flying off. We got around 10 self locking bolts

Ohh man thanks for reminding me...I forgot about it

I have taken the plunge satin black grill but keeping the crome surround .. 8 coats of primer then 6 coats of satin black ...

Infected; your coupe never ceases to amaze me! DEfinitely top three coupes imo!

Silver cars need as much help as possible to make them look interesting. Black out the grille.

I say debadge the rear if you already havent and also paint your rear star black too.

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

same here.... silver with black grille...

looks like you have pre facelift bumper. i would say, black it out, but only after u get front lip spoiler.

looks good

I vinyl mine for the easier sake...lol...the idea came from another member.

Nice masking skills. I don't know if anyone noticed, but are your fog housings aftermarket? They don't seem to fit with the mesh..

Just non-AMG housings on an AMG bumper.

Did you sand? Were the primer and coats in a can?

Makes you wonder why...when u read what he drives.
