HOTT CF grill

Hopefully this isn't a repost. My apologies if it is. It's a little pricey but I think it looks awesome.

looks great, but for me I would paint it. Just me but the carbon thing is a little over done.

Without the STAR...the car just aint the same.

The grill that comes on the sport is just FINE with me....ain't spending a ton of money to alter the look of the front....

a.) It's a BENZ...it should reflect that when looking at it from the front.
b.) THAT grill makes it look like an Acura
c.) I am not a fan of carbon fiber on anything exept my YONEX driver

...but...to each his own.

Rember...there are actually DALLAS COWBOY fans out there!!!

+1 I think the luxury grill's look nice too but IMHO the star is what made me look at buying the car in the first place (the sporty design when I first heard of the new c class)

HAHA, I saw his serial no. in person, K1 gave him the plaque serialed "FIRST1". It's pretty intense and I can see how it can't be duplicated. I'll ask him to throw a picture of it up too.

Start doing self research!!!

FrankW has posted several threads on his exclusive grill!!

click on his name, then click on threads started by"FrankW"

the forum is not that hard to figure out

You just have to be 10% smarter than the equipment you operate.

looks too crude and chunky for my taste. Without the badge it looks really odd and not as refined.

newer picture's in my w204 thread linked in my signature. have met few members here and there and all the comments were "it looks soo much better in person even tho the pic already looks good"

oh yea...the msn live search cash back thing can be used on it on ebay according to azn_300 who said he just purchased his when they had the 20% cash back going on.

unfortunately the cashback isn't working anymore. Most 8%'s aren't even working anymore and no one has seen a higher percentage one in a while.
