2006 white C230 55tech 1 fin grill + other questions

Hi everyone,
Just started driving the above car. It is a white C230 sport with a grey interior. 100,000 miles.

I wanted to improve the look. I was on the 55 Tech website and they have a 1 fin grill. all flat black or with a chrome star and fin and glossy black.

https://www.55tech.com/collections/w...s-style-grille

What would you do and do you have pics?

Also wanted a flat hood emblem but not sure who has the good ones that fit in the recessed area and who has the crappy ones?

Also have some dinged up aluminum sport interior trim and not sure if I can find it to replace it or if I need to get it wrapped?

I have been searching and learning.

Just fixed a miss. bought a code reader and did my plugs, air filters and replaced a faulty coil on #2 cylinder. It is running well again. Thanks guys, this website is great.

We now have this 2006 C230 Sport and a 2014 C250 (white and grey) at home now. So this website is my new home.


Thanks,
Terry

I think I like the all flat black, although the black and chrome star looks pretty nice too.

Evan,
I agree with you, those are the two I am trying to decide on. Black or Black with the Chrome Star...
