Expressions Grills pics please, and possible custom grill

If anyone has any high res pics of an expressions grill on a C32, could they please post them up ......

I would prefer a grill with no star, but I do not like the vertical part of the border on all the starless C32 grills (the bit circled in red below) I think the chrome vertical border ruins the lines at the front ....... does anyone knows of a gril like the C55 straight bar grill, the top picture below, which will fit on a C32 ......... if I can't find one, I am thinking of getting one custom made.

Here's my old thread of my MH-Dezent color matched w/ exception to the star grille. I've got a C230K SS, but it's the same front end as the C32.

MH-Dezent grille is the same as the Expression grille:

mattig grille looks good .... but it still has the vertical border around the outside.

I would like to see some good pics of the expressions grill as a fall back if I can't get what I want with no star.

Yeh sorry ... your grill looks awesome .... but I am more looking for pics with the chrome horizontal bars, not colour matched...... as my car is silver, so it needs the chrome I think

i know what u are talking about but i have not been able to find that type of grill, so i'm having it custom made it should be ready by the end of next week, its going to be a wooden mold first because its cheaper to make a wooden mold, and then i'm going to get a real mold made and get the grill put on my car. i'll post some pic as i get the grill made.
