Not sure if the rules prevent this type of post, if so, I apologize and understand if this gets deleted.

Usually I look on ebay and search "w208" to find different things for my car. Thanks to this site I've been introduced to formymercedes and performanceproducts also. But it still seems like i'm missing out, there seems to be a whole lot more custom sites for other brands of cars.

Does anyone mind sharing a few of the sites that they frequent for custom parts,oem parts and other w208 specific items?

also, does anyone know where to get a plain black grill from, or is it a do-it-yourself job? i've seen a few on this site but ebay only shows it with a huge star in the middle

You can buy the big star grill in all black with a silver star. The meaner looking stock black grill is painted by the owner.

yeah, i definately want the meaner stock grill...lol....i didn't realize that everyone was painting them though....i thought they were commercially available.

*goes to search for a grill painting thread*

sd134

ok, i'm back from searching....seems like most folks took it to a shop to get done......although people have talkied about doing it themselves, i can't find a step by step type of thread to support this.......anyone wanna offer any insight or advice on a diy black grill?

I was told once that the way to get it to come out best would be to beadblast the original grill and then paint it with some flexagent in the paint. I don't have that kind of stuff available to me, so I think that's why most just have someone do it.

I Got My Mean Black Grill Somewhere Through Ebay. I Think I Paid Something Like $150-$175, Expensive, But I Got It Anyways. What Do You Guys Think???

instead of painting the grill, you can just use a blackout tape. you will not notice the difference.

drwsnzz.....yeah, i've seen that one on ebay too, it's nice, but i'm looking for all black, no star
