New CL style grille
For those of you who have been curious as to what the new CL grille will look like, copy and paste the hyperlink below. Supposed to be ready sometime in March but I wouldn't doubt it if there is a schedule slip. The one pictured here is not painted so keep in mind it should be black. Lemme know what you guys think....

go to formy********.com and then select CLK/W208. Select grilles and then click on installation. The pictures are located on the installation page. Since the new grille has no surround, they had to fabricate a bracket to mount the grille to the hood, hence the instructions.

i dont have much skill with photoshop, but....
The grille looks pretty good in black. I will want to see a real picture of the painted one first, but i actually like this star grille and i have never been a huge fan of the ones with the large chrome border so that is saying something. Someone else may be able to do this better but here's what i could come up with in 5 mins...

Is that white paint I see around the grills? The chrome part is just at the edge of the the grills? Looks a little off. The white doens't match ****.

I am very confused in which one to get. Guys we need more picures to judge . The shatz grill looks okay, but the other has no Painted pictures yet , we need a front view of the Cl Style Grill so we can put both picture side to side. to compare .

If you paint black the upper and lower pins the previous grille looks more proportionate than the new one. I think the clk grille is too big to put a star so big to fill it completely. Just my 0.02 cents
