newbie pics of CL grill, bi-xenons, clear fogs
I'm a newbie here in this forum, and I'd like to just say hello to everyone, and share a few pics of my first mods. Thanks to Steve and Mark and everyone else here on this forum for their help and advice. The cars I've seen here are awesome. I look forward to learning and sharing more about our beloved MB's.

CL grill
kevinchung, oogle's right, it's the Mh-Dezent Expression grill. I bought it at performanceproducts.com for $599. There are several other CL grilles that can be found out there for $170-$200. But the expression grill was personally my favorite. If you'd like to know more details on the grill, please pm me. You can also run a search on the "expression grill" and you'll find plenty to read up on.
thank you everyone for the warm welcomes.

looks awesome. to be honest im not a fan of the CL grills on the sedans but it looks good with your paint. is that brilliant silver? hard to tell with the car in the garage.
i think thats the way they look with Euro Spec bi xenon's. i may be wrong. Steve would know.

Citron230K, you're correct, the color is brilliant silver. I need to take some better pics out in the sunlight. thanks for your honest opinion, i just personally think the flat hood badge along with the mb emblem grill gives the sedan a sportier look, and the expression cl grill with the bigger mb emblem is my personal favorite.

everyone has their own personal taste, so it's all good. i was wondering if you could tell me where you got your euro rub strips from and also how much they cost? i think the coupe is different from the sedan. are yours the smooth strips or the ones with the rivets? thanks.

i got them from Steve (MBenzNL). They were about $175 maybe $200, not sure its been awhile. They were pre-painted and the install was very easy. I put them on in a Pep Boyz parking lot. I put high temp tape around the bulbs so they dont shine down while the lights are on.
Mine are smooth. The ones with the rivits are for parktronic.

US Xenon has amber turn signal.
