Design Concept

I'm trying to come up with new design concepts for my car, this is my first attempt (quick Photoshop to demonstrate the idea). My car is actually white, but I find it interesting to consider a wrap as part of the theme.
The focus is more on the front (new/clean grill + AMG lower end), the rest is rather easier (I suppose).
A second option would be vertical blades (like in the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6).
Appreciate your thoughts

2016 C300 4Matic traded in for a 2022 E450 Coupe
Grill #2 looks like it came from a Buick .

The Buick option was actually inspired from the new Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6

What about the first option (clean grill) - Barbecue? But then you will have to prepare the salad Bentley Continental GT has something similar to the plain grill.

I'm just bored with the current grill options - was looking for something interesting. Any idea?

Yes Vic, I agree with the GTR. Perhaps only the star might be to big.
The question is now, with or without the star? Unless of course it will look like a Buick again

That's why we can get inspired by new models.
I quickly rendered the grill based on the GTR; with and without the star. What do you think?

With star, but should be around 30% smaller

I agree with you Vic; a smaller star might work.
It looks like vertical grill is trending.
I did this also for fun (it might be too much ), who remembers ASMA Design (like 10 years ago). They had an "in your face" body kit that would have looked like this on the W205.

^ That looks good. The smaller star works well.
