What grill do you like for a white CLK?
Here is my current chrome and black grill (stock). Please let me know what you think looks best! Currently I am leaning toward number 1. The chrome and white might look ok but only if white actually matched the rest of the car.


1. Chrome & Black


2. All Chrome 3 slats


3. Black & Chrome 3 slats


4. All Chrome


5. Chrome & White


6. Chrome & Flat Black

I think they are all hideous. I don't understand the fascination with the big star grills. Looks like something some tacky Arabian Sheik would have from the 1980's. Rock the Casbah! Leave the grill stock, paint it white though. Thats would look good.

I will probably try a flat hood badge before I go with a grill. If I dont like the new grill I can always go back to stock

+1 I like the big star too. I don't see any problem with it. And I don't think it's going back to 80s indeed I feel it like 10 years in the future . It's your own choice
