Thoughts on grill mod?

Hi all.

I Got my new 2013 e250 yesterday (sport). I really love everything about it....BUT...

I really like the new style girl with the large badge in the middle. What are your thoughts on removing the stand up bonnet badge and installing a flat one and putting the new style grill on?

What is the quality of the eBay items like? Incidentally the car is the saloon and in iridium silver.

Yep, that's the one. Is that the black mesh version or chrome?

The mesh on this grill was silver....I had to paint it black to match the rest of the mesh up front.

Really? I didn't see anyone selling a Silver painted grill with black mesh before. The Silver grill came with Silver mesh.

I think you must be mistaken...looks like you have the black grill (w/ chrome trim) and black mesh.
