yeah, I was surprised that I had that kind of fitment issue as they used the same mold for Frank and his looks to fit much better than mine did. 
I guess the next guy who takes delivery of grille SN:23 can see if he has better luck than I did

yeah, it's a process and we all knowingly take a chance when purchasing new to market products for our cars. $30 loss in shipping fees is a small price to pay I guess for taking a shot.

like the C32's Obsidian Obsession this is gonna be the thread for my 204 and it's progress. Granted it won't be as crazy as the C32, but it'll still be fun.

Congrats on the new "Whip" Did you ever graduate from college??? I have been out of the country for 22 months and now I am once again out of the country. I still have my C32, waiting to pull the trigger on a C63 when I get back, if I don't get orders for Italy. Seems like yesterday when you got your first mod for the C32

Looks great, but I agree that the grille would look even nicer with the star, not a big fan of the Brabus look
All you guys with white 204.s in US , could you please tell me what your color code is?, or maybe provide me with your VIN so I can check it out in EPC?
I am not sure if the US white is the same as the one here in EU,
the one I have ordered on my car is called "Calc White" and the code is 650

Thats great, looking at all the white US cars makes me want my car so bad, White is still very rare here in Sweden so I hope to stand out with it.
Some peaople think I am crazy for choosing it
On the downside i think the color could be somewhat brighter, 650 is alost "cream" white, IMO it would look better if it was truly bright snow like white.

I like the newer Lexus IS white. The white on our car is not as white I believe but that's what sets Merc apart. It doesn't have to be the shiniest, and even then it is still an amazing machine. But I couldn't imagine driving the C in any other color than white.

I like the 650 White. It seems to have some slight red and blue hues in certain light. It looks very thick on the car. And, nothing looks better at night.
BTW, FrankW, was your W203 featured in Traction magazine?

finally had a chance to wash the car and found the passenger sideskirt cracked at the rear end. suspected culprit = mom. oh wellz...must've been one of those turning into a plaza too quick and the rear rides the curb up situation.
