calling all modded white pre-facelift c240s. need suggestions

what's up guys (i wish i could say guys and gals)

my sister has an 02' white c240. pretty much it's stock but i got her a rear lip and exhaust tips and a stereo system (those that know me know my background in car stereo)

anyways, today she was on the freeway and some guy in a truck in front of her dropped a crate and it hit her car and destroyed her grille and put a dent/scratch on the hood. (i'll post pics later) it also messed up her front bumper a little bit, but that's seperate from the question i'm gonna ask.

my question is this, can anyone post pics of what they did on the front end of their white c240 (or any white c class for that matter) and the links to where i can buy the product? i'd like to make it look better. so post pics of your aftermarket grille, flat badge, just whatever you did in the front. i specifically want the grille pics and links though.

thanks in advance

why not going with a black grille?

I got this grille I bought from Mun9enx a while back if you are interested.

Mike, I say go with a black grill (not the one with the star though) and an amg front bumper and I'm sure the hood can be fixed

...a panty dropper...
Black out an OEM grill, black vinyl the roof, black wheels, tint, AMG kits, CF front lip and rear spoiler and it will be looking great. Some bondo and some hammering of the hood will make that an easy fix. You can order a spray can of OEM paint from paintscratch.com if you want to DIY. They have always been great when I have ordered from them. Good luck!

I'm most definitely not looking to do a project on this car, it's coming out of my sister's pocket so I'm trying to go the cheapest route as possible. The grille with the star in the middle is what I will go with and a flat badge too. I'm not too worried about the hood since we own the building a body shop is renting out from. Black looks amazing in my opinion on white.not her taste though.
