Grille comparo **Pics
Hey everyone,
So I decided to go for the more classic Merc look and stick the lux grille on a Sport C350. I also painted the slots gloss black instead of the traditional silver. I think it looks like a baby W221 S Class. Anyways, here'[IMG][/IMG]s the before and after, let me know what you think!

This thread is a great example of why MB made the C both ways.....some of you want to go one way, while others of us would prefer the other. AMG style painted bodycolor Palladium with DFWDude's hand-tooled flat hood badge.

Yeah I love the way the hood ornament looks from the drivers seat, but not so much from anywhere else. hahaha

2008 C280 W204 Avantgarde
So, I want to do this on my car; it's the only thing I don't like about the Avantgarde package.
What's the part number for the grille and bonnet ornament? I'd prefer not to buy this used from eBay.

I like how that looks straight on a lot! Do you have any side shots?
My main beef with the W204 Lux is that the grille looks awkward from the side/angle to me. I think it has to do with how upright it is. This looks really nice though!

Yeah it does look a little awkward from the side, the grille is too straight up. But it looks so killer from dead straight on, which is mainly the angle I look at it from. Anyways, I think it looks way better than the sport grille.
Sorry, dont have the part numbers. Got it off eBay for $65!
