Really the only thing you could do is stick with the original or make it gloss black. I've seen a few w211s with those aftermarket center star grills in person and it makes me want to gouge my eyes out.

There are several good aftermarket grille's available that have a sportier look than the OEM 5 fin and flycatcher setup...

...from all blacked out http://www.ebay.com/itm/291007306147?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
...to all chromed up http://www.ebay.com/itm/151143973672?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
...with four fins or five.

It's all a matter of YOUR taste, so do what you like.... unless other rude people pointing and laughing can easily make you cry... then by all means... get a consensus and mod your car the way everyone else votes!

You can always swap it out again if you decide you don't like it after all.

I know you asked for options so you can see for yourself what they look like... so you can check my sig... I'm not sure how long mine will stay.. I keep an eye out for something different all the time! I don't care for the flycatcher, so I will always go for the star grille... I just haven't found the "perfect" one yet.... which is hard because I keep changing my mind.
