TBH, don't like the hood emblem, tinted eyebrows or the grill. I feel like the tinted fogs don't look good unless you did a black grill or tinted headlights. The lip also just adds such a black presence that I think you should add black to the grill, tint your headlights, black out the chrome trim around the fogs or something like that. Just my .02 cents but the car is looking real clean!

Lookin real good bro but I don't like the tinted eye lids man, I like the emblem and lip and the grill

Mixedfruits

yeah eyebrow is kinda gross now that I look at it

What do guys think sport grille black or lux grille black?

lamonsas

i think u should get the stock chrome sport grill with the flat hood emblem like the sport c300 has, it looks so much better in my opinion

Mixedfruits

yeah im just a bit confused want my c300 to stand out but its hard .... many c300 look way to similar even modded

I would go with sport grill in black over lux. Lux grill just has too much chrome in general for me and if you do it in black, I think it looks funny. For white cars I think it looks great when you do sport grill with black and then leave the chrome strips and mb sign in chrome.

black out (or black chrome) the grille and black out the fog bezel if you're going for that more aggressive look imo.

First thing you need to stand out - Wheels

Loose the MB star on the hood.

Paint your sports grille with the same shade as your front lip spoiler. Do the same with the chrome molding around the fog lamps. Loose the tint on your fogs.

It will have better contrast after that. Keep it simple

be hard to paint match my lip since its painted by shop maybe just get some gloss black? but the thing with spray paint is that they chip or crack easily

ZeroSeVen

Mine has been painted by my local auto body shop. They sanded it down, used primer and painted it gloss black and applied clear coat. It hasn't shown any signs of visible wear such as chipping for over a year now.

alrighty ill go get some qoutes hate to be spending money

what do you think of a white theme rings white grille idk yet?

ZeroSeVen

That might work too... I saw someone in this forum did it on his sports grille and came out nicely. It was matte black and he painted the chrome edges white.

sometimes, there is such a thing as too much. keeping it simple looks better. doing too much will make it look too busy

Mixedfruits

agreed was just trying out the look!

tanktube67

I see you have two options, for the aggressive look paint the grill black or for the fresh look get rid of the tint eye brown

Mixedfruits

fresh fo sho!

No agressive for me yeah just trying out a new look accually kinda like fogs tinted though but w/e on that.

tanktube67

fresh fo sho! it is

Mixedfruits

ugly brows no more they have been plucked! hahahahahaha time for a drop and rims and Im good to go, just a quick ? if I get 19" rims can my 17" tires fit on them?

The paradox is that you blacked out the eyebrows and fogs to eliminate shine then went with a grill with extra shine.

If I were to mod, which I haven't so far, I'd put the yellow lamex on the fogs, remove the black from the eyelids, replace the luxury grill with the 300 sport grill but have the flat planels changed from silver gray to black and remove the 3 point star from the hood.

It would look a little distinctive yet still look like the Mercedes.

Guess part of the problem is that the front end looks so good to start with that you have to be careful not to take away with it in the name of being distinctive.

I dunno, I like the lux grill. When I was driving my old SEL, I loved seeing the emblem at the end of the hood. Maybe just ditch the eyebrows.

wnunez89

blackout the grill and you should be good!

Ron Jr

I would paint a sport grill white to match the body and black out the chrome on it. Lose the upright star and go for the flat one. definitly lose the tint on the brows and fogs.

The answer to your question is NO. You need to get new set of tires for your 19 inch wheels. Expect to pay somewhere around $500-700 for quality name brand tires.
