Here you go rs1985... quick job, not perfect but gives you an idea.



I personally wouldn't go this route tho. I'd do the color matched grille insert or a full blackout like the one by Auto Addiction, given if I was sticking with a sports grill.

I like that look , my lux grill is almost in. I'm gonna color match it obsidian black. The next best thing is the Väth ones. Gives it that mean 'I cut through the air' kinda look


...a bit different than their ones for the c63 which are like chromed out sides too...

The best one is by far the CF brabus bullit. I wonder if anyone could be skilled enough to replicate that i'd definately buy one.

I like 18" AMGs in that dark colour. I had thought about doing that. I think a nice anthracite color (the same as the old Volvo Volans wheels) would look good. I have never been a fan of the machined look like that on the face surfaces of 18" AMGs.

I've always liked those stripes, but whenever I mention them in any forum, everyone hates on me.

I just don't think it looks right with the whole grille painted black except for the star. I've seen something like this in person, but on a clk, but all the photoshops I've seen didn't look right. Personally, I think either leave it stock, paint the panels, but leave the chrome, or black out the whole thing are the only real options.

yeah, I don't have photoshop on my work comp, so I tried to do time attack stripes on your pic with MS paint....needless to say, it looked like crap :p Like to see it properly photoshopped. Red would probably look best...maybe yellow or white.

Different car I know, but I loved the look of the wheels with the calipers.

I've thought about blue stripes... would look nice with the white body. Also orange (to match the side markers ), but I like red. These are just crazy ideas, of course. I dunno how long the novelty will last... hmmm... ideas though.

In regards to the Väth, I emailed them asking about ordering one..

"Hello,

No we don´t have a distributor in canda. You can order the grill at us.
The price for the grill: 740, 00 € incl. finishing plus charge.

Best regards "

Anyone know what currency that is? oO.

That's the Euro.

740 euro is about $1173 USD
