I'm not sure what I'm looking for with the clip on thing - it looks good. Maybe you're being a bit paranoid?

 

Yes, I am probably paranoid. It's the black unpainted plastic strip right under the "nose" of the bonnet/hood just above the highest painted part of the grill. We all want perfection and it's just a tad too visible for my taste. Might have to adjust that

 

looks great

Going to fiddle a bit more with that top plastic. I'll report back when I probably break it

 

I command you to leave it alone! Seriously I don't see it but maybe because I can't see it in real. 1-2 more weeks before I get my car finally. *sighs*

well done, looks great!

 

Our CLC200 CDI grill is black Yes I think the stock black grill is nice wish they made it like that for the C. Really afraid of stone chips.

 

I think the black grill looks nice on your grey car.

 

Look good
