So in general, I'm not a fan of the sport grille on our cars. But this one looks a little different. They're calling it an e63 style grille. I installed a flat badge, and still have the stock grille. My stock grille is looking a little shabby, so I plan on getting a replacement soon. I'm torn on this grille, like I said, I normally don't like ANY sport grilles I see on our car...but this one may be acceptable. Unfortunately I can't find any pics of it ON the car. What say you?

I agree with you. I'm generally not a fan of these on W210's and some other models. This one does however look better than previous versions. Without seeing it on a car, it is difficult to say if it is different enough to look considerably better. I still think the star may be way too big and overpowering.

I've never been a fan of it , either. Even though I can see where they tried to add a little to the design, I'm still not buying it...

Same here. I think the star is waaay to big on those grilles. I simply blacked out my stock one and called it good.

Thanks Armani. But this "newer" style grille is quite different still. I'm not convinced I'll like it. I think I'll paint my stock one to match my wheels. If I don't like it, not a biggie as my stocker is kinda beat up as it is, so I'll just buy another avantgard grille...thanks to all who replied!

I'll trade you for Intel I noticed that you have bought AMG pedals. Which ones did you buy on Ebay? I almost purchased one last night as they would go nicely w/my new carpets.

Regarding the LED's I purchased this pair from Amazon so far eh.. It's ok not a lot of light/throw but they go nicely with the FXR projectors and LED city lights. I still haven't found the perfect fog lights yet- It's been hit or miss.

Here is the link for Amazon:

Amazon.com: eBoTrade-Tech 2x High Power 12V 24V H3 7.5W 5-SMD 6000K Xenon White LED Projector Lens DRL Daytime Running Light Driving Fog Lamp Headlight Bulb: Automotive Amazon.com: eBoTrade-Tech 2x High Power 12V 24V H3 7.5W 5-SMD 6000K Xenon White LED Projector Lens DRL Daytime Running Light Driving Fog Lamp Headlight Bulb: Automotive


For the city lights I bought those from IJDM. I bought LED bulbs for the license plate, LED for all interior cabin as well (even the bulbs beneath the door). I hate the yellowish light look. Just makes everything look older....

Hope this helps

Ha! Touche'!!

I got the pedals from a vendor found here in the forum: JB Speed. I paid $65.00 for them, back in September 2013, and they've been holding up very well since then!

Thanks for the Amazon link- I feel the same way about the yellowish light!

I actually like this grille Maybe because it is "big" on the star The grilles on the MLs and GLs are the best looking ones IMO.

Found this blackout sport grille on a W212. I think blackout looks better.
