coilover suspension & changing front grille NOOB

hey guys
i own a 04 c200k
im just asking anyone who has info on changing stock suspension to
coilovers
or
lowered springs
what should i look out for ? what good brands are out there at affordable prices ? are there any error bull**** codes i should expect ?
AND
has anyone changed ther front grille ? i seen some on ebay and will most likely be my next purchase for the car ...
this one in particular:
Mercedes W203 Grill C230 C320 C240 Grille BK 3 FIN + MB : eBay Motors (item 360145259971 end time Apr-02-10 06:18:05 PDT)
does anyone know why the black plastic bit behind the star (near the rim of the star) looks weird ?

one last thing .. if anyone has pics of lowered mercs or changed front grills please post ..

search google a million places carry it. it's the one that has 3 horizontal slats as opposed to 4. yes it will fit. to cut it you'll need a hacksaw or coping saw. good luck.
