Got new grille! what you think?

Here are the pics of my new grille. Yeah it's an older style but my current grille got really busted and some parts are broken. I picked these up from one of our members here. Does anyone know how to get rid of those annoying water marks?
I'm also planning to paint it black when i got free time =/
Tell me what you guys think!

Looks great! I actually like that grille better than the CL style ones. I'm putting my old one back in, I sprayed the center matte black and left the outer part silver. It looks pretty good.

Not bad, I'm taking the lighting is making it look like its got glitter on it?

I personally think it would look great with the actual MB star on the hood.

+1 for the lighting..

But it does look good. If you do decide to paint it, clear bra would definitely be a good investment on it.

I think it looks great, I'd probably put my stock grille back one day, but I'm still bored with it at the moment.. Will probably paint the inside silver to match my body colour instead of matte black..

2006 C230, 2006 BMW M3, bye bye C55:(
Love that you went back to the stocker. I cant stand the grill mods some people do. Simply keep the flat badge and the original grille and the car already looks 10X better

Nice, I like my stock grill too...

You should consider a build thread alex, that way you can keep everything in one thread that you can post on. Makes the forum cleaner and easier to look at your progress.

grille looks nice alex!

i just put a black cl grille on with chrome star and can't decide if i want to keep it. i was going for the matching with the wheels, lip, and black depos but i also kind of like just painting the OEM black...decisions...
