I personally wouldn't get it just because im not a big fan of the star on the grill, but it's pretty cool looking, definitley not rice.

personally i'm not a fan of that look with the star on the grille on a c-class. while i, like many others i think, will not consider it really "rice", it just looks a bit awkward because it's kind of copied from the CL and SL and such. just my opinion.

Not rice... but, not nice. If you are going to swap grills, go with the big star grill. I had a small star grill on my CLK and grew tired of it very quickly.

No good. Get the MHD/Expression CL Grille instead. Looks a lot better.

Since this is a German car, I would use "sauerkraut", or just "kraut" instead of "rice".

It looks fine to me, but I am more partial to the wider body cars using the star on the grill
