color matched star on front grill
had to re-do my grill after the winter, stone chips got the better of my freshly painted gloss black grill. Color matched the star to the car this time. Thoughts? I know crappy pic but it got dark last night by the time I finished washing it.

they are silver. the only thing chrome is the fog light surrounds, mostly because I forgot about them.

I ordered another star, gonna paint it gloss again. All gloss it seems to get lost?

Looks clean but I'm not a fan of the color-matched star...I think the full black grill looks just a little meaner.

Love the look - im doing the same thing kind of. Im doing mine black and leaving the star chrome (my car is black though)

Looks great I think - I prefer badging though - especially since you can do it in black

mine didn't. it is listed as an option though.

If a C63 in Australia has chrome door handles it means the car has keyless go.
