So I bought my C230 only 58k miles and love the car. All I’ve done is tinted windows, painted the wheels (I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I like the black wheels. All my cars/bikes have had black wheels since the early 2000’s when it was cool haha) clay bared the car and waxed it. Planning on painting the calipers once I get the new decals to do it right, and getting the jbspeed hood badge. Looking for a new grill since I painted mine black since it was all pitted but looking for a black grill with the Mercedes logo chrome preferably. If you have a custom grill can you post a pic? I’ve seen lots of pics on google of the grill itself but haven’t really seen one on a 230.

You can tell in the pic the painted grill looks cheap and it’s he first thing I notice and it drives me nuts. That’s why I’m looking for a replacement

Here's mine and here’s a link to a thread discussing it: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...fin-grill.html

I also have the flat badge on the hood. I'll be adding Bi-Xenons in the near future. I like your car by the way. I would not have painted the wheels, but it's your car and I think you should please yourself.
