Very Clean. Is it painted to match the car? Gloss wise. Is It 'flat black' or no? Looks great tho.

Yeah. I felt the same thing too. Now I'm just waiting for the painted side markers as the stock ones destroy the look of the car.

Why paint over the side markers? They look great lit up at night, painting over them wouldn't let the light shine through. I'll admit the orange color is off, but why not a clear lense or a smoked lense. Would be a great look and still function as a light.

I'd like to see either a smoked one or a clear one with a yellow/orange bulb in it. Might look nice on black.

3 push clips in the fender liner and a cut or 2 on your hand

also the Markers are under 15 bucks each from the dealer so i just picked up a second set...had them painted before i had the car

Tanktube67?

Tank, I just sent you a private message asking about where you found that grill. It looks like the Brabus verion from their Bullit and I really love that look so can you tell me where to get one?

Also, can you post more pics of your car. Looks like your wheels are 19s, but can you tell us sizes and what brand wheel. So few of the new C-class have been done so is nice to see one dressed up like yours.

Thanks

C 350 Obsidian Black
Has anyone tried fitting an AMG grill to the basic C350? I saw a part number of 2048801083 which is the black AMG grill. Slightly different look than the normal Sport grill.
