I personally dont like the big star grill on the W203 (except C55) because the front is not slanted enough.

I like that grille, but I've never seen it done on a W203...

My opinion shouldn't have a final say in what it is that you do to your car.
Your modifications are supposed to be an expression of your tastes. Not everyone elses.

I have grill 2 with a flat badge and it makes the car look a lot more sporty. I've gotten some compliments and the girls seem to prefer it. Just sayin ...

Not a star grill fan. I like the OEM one just paint it up with plastidip or paint. Or mod it by removing the vertical grill line.

A razor blade will take forever. I bought a 20 dollar multi-purpose tool that came with a circular blade from harbor freight. Worked out pretty well. Then you can either bondo in the gaps or weld in a plastic piece and finish it off with bondo, which is the route I went with.
