Lightbulb Star grill and hood ornament

Saw an SL yesterday with both a star grille and a star hood ornament. Believe it or not it looked pretty cool.
Do you think the CLS would look any better with this mod.

Hmmmm....sounds utterly horrible the first second I picrured it, but I dunno - I'd have to see it - seems a little - ummm - Beverly Hills to me - dunno if I could do it - you should have shot a pic with a camera phone - suppose it would be easy enough to photoshop tho. My concern with the CLS is the sloping lines - might obstruct from the "sleekiness" - sorry for the Mr. Deeds reference.

Thoughts anyone? Could this look good on a CLS?

Agree..... IMHO, It can't have both. Should be either one of them will give the best look

You did a good job... photo-chopped-shopped...

Doesn't look bad.

EDIT: looks horrific on second thought

It really needs a Mercedes flagstaffe on each corner - as per diplomatic mod used on the W220.

A little Mercedes flag would be cool ......

just the grill star. even if the CLS came with just the hood star i would have changed it to the grill star.

Grill star looks alot better than the hood ornament. I saw a CLS500 yesturday on way back from Philly, black on black and had a black mercedes vanity plate on front with the chrome MB logo. Looked really good, first on I've seen in person
