Not yet convinced I like the change in looks, but here it is for your assessment. I like the monoblock OEM so had a second set refinished in Black Opal, dressed with a matching black Opal grill, I will have the option to change looks periodically....black for the track, and chrome for a night on the town..

 

I like the chrome much better.

 

Chrome that is. Much more classic look.

 

silver would have been better than chrome to me...

also really don't like the new grille, sorry...

 

take that fleabay , horrendous looking grill off your car.

it doens't matter what color you paint that POS grill, it does NOT go w/ 208's.

paint your stock grill if anything......

 

second pic looks like a bad photo shop of the first pic.

 

I agree I like the stock grill better.

Agreed. Chrome center caps off too.

 

hate to pile on but i agree with the group.

 

Actually I too am not too thrilled with the new grill and like the classic look better.. The wheels are already painted so will have to live with that, though have the chrome ones too so can swap out when i feel like it. attached an updated pic..

 

Looks menacing....I'd hate to have that beast chase me around the track this weekend!!

 

I think it looks sweet! Maybe your next mod could be a grill and take off your front plate!

I notice you're in DFW. Have you ever considered tuning or dynoing you CLK?

 

DO IT! Black 'er out. That's what I'm doing when I'm back in the states

 

This is much better Clear out or black out bumper marker, maybe?

 

that does look much better. the W208 chrome grills look good.

 

I trust AMG to have better taste than me.

I love my W208 cabriolet's wheels. Like these ones:



Do not like the chrome wheels. Really do not like black wheels. On any car. Just makes the car look like it's filthy dirty, IMHO. Don't know why it always makes me feel that way (i.e., nothing personal Zal, I react this way to every car with black wheels).

 

I like the older grill better too, but I think it would look better with a flat hood emblem.

Take some tips from Gizzo (car looks nice, btw)... especially about that amber front bumper marker.

I think these two things will make your car look a little more sleek and sportier.

 

Nice car you're showing us there! Those 17 inch stock Series I AMG wheels are classic ... but a close look at the photo reveals big AMG boxes on the back seat: 18 inch 2 piece R129 wheels on their way to the installer in Holland!
