I agree with LorinserCClass. The CL grille looks A LOT better than that second grille. I've seen both in person. And all I can say is WOW! The first one is gorgeous. The second one looks cheap.
It ain't just the star, it's the shape of the thing, the lines, etc. Goto a meet and compare them side by side. It's like comparing Britney Spears with Rosanne Barr. In fact, I think the second grille looks worse than the stock grille.
Just my opinion here of course.

hey I hear you oggle....I'd sure as hell talk up the other grille if I got beat for $600 plus for a piece of plastic. I'd try to convince eveyone to buy one too...so I wouldn't feel like the only slapped *** 
BTW, I could get the larger star CL grille for about $300 US; thru a connection I made overseas, but I still dont think its worth even that.
600+ for a grill...thats like spending $290 for a Brabus shift knob HAHAHA...wait a minute..some joker in the classifed section already tried that!!!!

Btw, if you can't even pony up a little $ for a grille that's just kicka$$, then you shouldn't be buying second-hand Mercs in the first place.
The Honda dealer is thata way.

I admit to having not seen either grill in person, but from the pics they're very similiar, except the more expensive one has less grill rails.
I'd opt for the cheaper one personally.

Well Agent here is my picture...I think it looks OK so I kept it on. You guys make your own decision....i know the car is dirty but its Friday, and she don't get baths until Sat. morning :-)
oggle..I don't know what you mean by 2nd hand Merc.? Mine is an '03 bought in June
...maybe next time don't jump to a conclusion, OK. Also it has nothing to do with being able to 'pony' up the loot. I can afford to do anything I want to the car, but I have to see value in what I buy, as do you, thats why we bought M.B. right. For example, I'm not putting a Kleeman on my car because I wasn't looking for something fast..If I were I would have bought the G35 or the new TL. Come on down off of that high horse...
BTW what's wrong with Hondas? The new accord will probably outlast both our cars....LOL

Its a cool looking car !! I should have ordered a black one. I've just put an order in for a zircon silver C200 Elegance Kompressor with the sports package. I couldn't decide between black & silver. Yours looks cool !
