I've been thinking.......about Grills..

[gibsones135]

As I was browsing through E-Bay the other day I came across this:-

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/00-07-Mercede...14&_trkparms=72:1689|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318

......and I was thinking about, just thinking about-maybe, possibly putting it on this:-

Should I, shouldn't I? Would it make it look smart and sophisticated or would it make it look like a boy racer mobile/ guilded lilly etc etc? Could I live without seeing my three pointed star at the end of the bonnet? Mmmm? I welcome your thoughts....Would you do it and why? If not why not?

I think that it would look nice

...My goodness that was a quick response. Thanks Dave. Well yours certainly looks very smart - as it were! Is there any difference in size and fit between the saloon and estate that you -or anyone- knows?

 

[gibsones135]

I think that it would look nice

Ah yes ..but would you do it?

I fitted chrome slats to my 230

There's no price on the SPH (Smiles Per Hour) you get from looking along the bonnet and seeing the 3-pointed Star

 

[anyweb]

i far prefer having the star on the bonnet, always have, always will

to me, a merc without the star staring at you as you drive is naked

but that's just me

Maybe I could fit the new grill..... with the integral star and keep the one on the bonnet............I'm joking, I'm joking!!

How about some thing different for anyweb

 

[jamesmc]

I think the change can look good on certain models.

Before...

After...

OMG, now I want one of those on mine

Nice car mate,

Just LUV the interior

But it is an estate. However you feel - it should look refined and laid back. Not really like a sport car.

Thanks 'Cleverdicky' another good point and one I think I hadn't given much thought to....I think I might be coming round to that way of thinking. Ta

I've seen some cars with this setup. Too disturbing!

I love the subtle look of the first picture of yours Malcolm, I might consider something similar with mine but in gold and covered in glitter. What do you reckon?

 

[Miffy]

I just found the black grill on ebay for £125, hmm, so tempting to press BUY IT NOW
