I thought someone made a carbon fiber grill for our cars. I know at one point there was one out there for the 208 CLK's anyway.

That's pretty nice. Might think about something like that myself since the chrome on my grill is bubbling and I want to replace it.

stock grille, no paint or cf.... I took the chrome off once, like I split the chrome piece from the plastic piece. It looked alright and kinda cool but, I'd stay stock. I put wire mesh behind mine, it was actually functional because i had no fan shroud but it also looked nice or at least interesting.

It is not one part , look at the grill from the back , between the fins , you will see that the chrome fronts snap onto the plastic backing
