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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.
