New grill on.

It's not as nice as the Expression"CL type" sports grill(I think the start is too big) but at 1/3 the price...... I think mine looks as good

BTW,, I notice the grill that I got is basically a modified stock grill with the center part chopped off to fit a OE Benz star.

I use Scotch Brite to rough up the chrome a little bit so the paint would stick better.

I got it on Ebay for $150 shipped(takes 4-5 days from Taiwan) from this seller:

There are about 3 different kind of these grills on Ebay, the one that I got has bigger star(can tell from where the horizontal chrome strip intercepts with the star).

I think my grill looks the same as this one:

My guess would be to access the hood release.

It is for hood release access but not for the W203 C-class. From that I can tell it is a OE MB part(probably a CLK?). The whole grill is made/mod from OE MB parts from what I can tell but nevertheless good quality overall.
