W204 Grilles'......?
Sup Guys!
Well I had my MB Star stolen out of my grill...
So I am trying to decide whether I get a stock grille again or an aftermarket grille.
Any good brands or experiences with grilles out there? What do you recommend?
I drive a C350-Mars Red, what do you think about the AutoTecknic brand and matte black grille?

Apparently it can be taken out! I stopped by the dealership and was told that the OEM grille is three pieces, they wanted $79.99 plus tax for the case and star. It's a new trend according to the dealer so watch out!!! I am going for a starless look now.

That's what I said...BTW is that an AutoTecknic Matte Black grille? If so, how do you like it? Was it a perfect fit? If not can you suggest any good grilles?

You can get a new star he for a better price, $55 still is high, although you need the back as well which seems to be another $30.

looks great, posting a pic later after work. Didnt like the frameless because it seemed like it was out of place.

I have that grill I get lots of comments on it. To me the fit is spot on for aftermarket the top tho is a little lower meaning where the cover clicks in at but still clicks in and I got mine from creative motoring they sale on eBay to so just ask for the eBay price as it is cheaper than their website
, and like i said it's a little dirty with bugs and stuff from the trip this weekend

its the same frame they used for the old c63 replica grille so instead of two lines its one in the middle. I like the SL type of grille better it looks more aggressive http://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Grille...item35ab0156f7

Becareful on some of the aftermarket grilles.
Many of them will leave a gap between the top of the grille and the edge of the hood.
It is more noticeable on lighter coloured cars.
