Need pics of non-black CLK's with black grills

I did a search only barely found anything. I am wondering if you could put up pics of your CLK's with black painted or powdercoated grills on your non-black cars. Search function showed almost only black grills on black cars, which I am not interested in seeing. I have a firemist red CLK430 and want to black the grill and wheels and I want to see what kind of impact such a stark and dark contrast a big, black grill would have with the rest of the car that is not black itself. Thanks!

PLease keep the pics coming guys. I am also considering painting gunmetal too so it will still be almost as stark, but not as stark as a black grill. I would pain tthe wheels to match whatever the grill will be.
