I think what he meant was change it to the cl-style grille.
Like the pic below. It doesnt have outer chrome lip, it has less slots and thicker/stronger ribs.
Also, there are separation black walls behind the chrome stars inside the circle.
But personally, more than the grille, change the headlights

Approx 15/17 mm all round, that with stock rear spring pads, dont know what # they are though.
no rubbing issues with 4 ppl in car plus luggage, so not bad, ride still comfortable too but better handling less body roll.
If you are considering springs, then Harris is your man. www.hartonmotorwerks.com

Andy, whats your plan on doing in regards of installing quad exhaust ?
1st of all, you won't be able to fit a new muffler due to the spare tire well.
Unless of course if you partially cut the spare tire well, or remove the whole thing alltogether.
2nd-ly, you will have to cut the bumper for a new exhaust outlet on the right, which could be done easily by a reputable shop, only the problem is, existing exhaust cut-out on the left has a lip around it, which would be impossible to mimic on the right. Unless of course if you buy a C55 rear bumper, around US$ 900-1000. This would be less visible if the car was in dark color.
Well, these are the obvious problems that I had forseen when trying to install quad exhausts. I'm just curious if you know an easy way to do this.. thanks !

First of all I know this is going to be a tricky job, trying to mimic the 55's fully functional quad exhausts on a 32 is no easy task, but its not impossible either.
There is no way im gonna cut the spare tire wall, and i wont be doing "FAKE JOB " either.
I've only spoken briefly with my local exhaust guys about this project so no final decisions/routes have been planned.
The exhaust project will be my final mod, but as im still waiting for my clear bix to arrive and the grille from mymercedes and the c55 rear spolier to get painted/fitted im in no rush at the moment, but it surely will be done.
Give it 2 weeks and ill keep you informed of the proposed exhaust plans .
