CLK Grille + the pointy hood star = crazy???

I can guess the feedback here, but have you seen or thought about installing the CLK grille with the big start while keeping the original W203 hood star in place? I like the CLK grille but it is also nice to see the other pointy star from the inside, while driving. It is probably too much, or too many stars...

too much stars, if you look directly at your car, you'd see one huge star and another smaller one floating above it. don't worry, people will still know you're driving a merc

I kinda liked the lil target when driving, but I removed it when I changed my grill. It would look too busy with both.. I like the flat emblem.. much sleeker/cleaner looking.

Agreed. If you go with a star grille, change to a flat hood emblem.
