grill change
Weather is not that great up here in No Cal so I have decided to do a few simple Mods. This is the grill change. I think it is a much cleaner look. I think this is how they should have come from the factory. I will be doing the lighted sills, pedals and a few other cosmetic changes and will post the pics as I complete them.

That's very nice...I have the smaller version of this grill (the one that doesn't quite touch the top and bottom of the grill) on my CLK430 and wish I got the type of grill you have on your ride. I love the color of your W208. Can you believe how MB designers emasculated the W209 body style? Well, have fun and be safe...

Looks awesome 
I'm thinking of changing mine. I too have the smaller version.

NorCalGregclk55 I must ask you, what is that little meshed chunk missing from say (10:00 to 12:00) in the star? Perhaps an illusion?
Anyway, somehow I am a fan of the star propped on top of the hood. I don't know, it looked kinda classy up there. Just my $0.02.

So since our cars are sports models the star on top adds a 'lil luxury touch. Best of both worlds 
Both setups look nice tho, every1 has their personal tastes. I like the (Big Star) like on yours opposed to the small ones I have seen out there...

I do like the new grille but I still prefer the original.
My 2cents...
There are 4 oval shapes on the front, the lights.
With the grill with the MB star, there is too much 'round' shapes present.
When driving, I like to see the 3point star on the hood.
Plus, I use it to help me to judge where the front is.
Looking at the pic of the car from a distance, it does look cool though.
Nice mod!
