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

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.
