go flat hood emblem and leave it as that... I love the nice clean lines of my front with NO emblem... that and I think its just too much having the CL style grill on there

Anyone who doesn't know that you have a Benz unless they are hit over the head with a Tristar the size of a dinner plate, isn't worth your time anyway.

And to those who have it done, it is personal preference, if you like it, thats all that matters

Agreed. I put the CL grille on mine for all of 2 days then put it back on Ebay and someone else got to learn the hard way. Save yourself the time and money, the CL grille is obnoxious on the W211 - keep it clean and if anything go to a 5 slat W211 sport grille if you want a subtle change.

To me, that's class, but YMMV.
