If you are "disappointed" to read someone's opinion that is not 100% aligned with yours then this is not the place for you!
I would suggest that you create your own forum and only allow yourself to sign up!

anyways...all i wanted to find out is how the W212 community reacts to a "star on the grille". imho, it doesnt look bad at all. I may or may not do it but hey, its a cheap and easy mod to reverse if need to so no harm there.
like I said before, coming from the W211 side, it is frowned upon and again, imho, it doesnt go with the flow and shape of the W211 unlike with the W212.
everybody has their own take on everything. sometimes its not the way we like it but thats just how it is. doesnt necessarily mean its wrong when people disagree with you. thanks for all the input guys! really do appreciate it.

When I traded the E350 for my current 2010 E550 I kept the star grille and installed it on the new wheels. This was "absolutely necessary" as this car has the Distronic and the grille that the car comes with is just plain UGLY! The big star is a lot better for this one.
It is also good to notice that MB itself started making the sports model E-glass with the star grille and I would not be surprised if they did it after noticing so many car owners changed the grille to the star model.
Below picture of what I now have. If you get one I recommend to get the one with the Distronic backing plate as shown in my picture. I think it looks better that the "mesh" background star but this is just my opinion.
I would have this star model even if I did not have Distronic.

No star pics...
Looks like the thread digressed a bit but I have the same color car without the stand up star... thought a couple of pics might help. One on the star and one to make you smile...have a good one

Does anyone have pictures of black car with black grill and black star and black grill with chrome star? Also matte black vs gloss black. Cannot decide between these.
