Question Lower grill on CLS front bumper

First I had removed it. Did not look good as it was too open and showing the 3 vertical plastic support pieces on the bumper body.

Now, just for the heck of it, I painted it silver and placed it back there. I will take some pictures later today and post them. It sure looks exclusive, but not sure if it is Good exclusive or Bad exclusive ( probably BAD !! )

What I really need is a new bumper all together. The original CLS bumper is ugly, on my opinion. The lower grill and the fog light cases look plasticky and cheap.

I really like the silver mesh. And I checked it out the link, but I dont think they do mesh for CLS. Where can I get them. And they have three kinds of finishs, which one do you think is better?

I emailed them long time ago and they do not offer one for CLS now. The best bet for you is to remove yours and painted it yourself.

I called them yesterday and they said they can do the CLS model. They might thinking about put it in their new product line. BTW, which finish do you think is the best for obisidian black. The race mesh has three kinds of finish. The standard one or the polished one??

Painted mine by silver, looks much shining than standard.
The polished one should be shinest.
