Reply With QuoteI have seen a couple W202's with this grill and I think it looks terrible, but that's just me.
I think you'd be better off going with an avantgarde grill for an updated look.
Has anyone here added this ebay grille to their car? I have the older non-star avant garde version and would like to see one of these installed and to know how well it fits/installs. Thanks!

I like that grille but NOT the silver version you have shown, only the black version with small chrome accents.
Will post pics when I take off my black avantgarde grille and put the black version of that one on.
Black version looks like this:
Here's mine..Everyone has an opinion, Like it or hate, I get props on mine. AvanteGarde Grilles are too safe, and you begin to look like everyone else.
Ron, I'll be looking forward to your black grille shots.
Benzinoc230: Do you have other angles, straight on, or other 3/4 views that show the whole body?
Lets see what I got Direct..

Theres a demon in my car i tell yah....its name is KOMPRESSOR lmfao
mate have you got any pics from a distance? it seems pretty powerful against the front of the car, maybe a photo from further away would give it a better look and members can tell how it looks against the whole car and its lines.
also i understand that some things arent photogenic as others, what do you personally think of it?
cheers
Well said. Thanks for the additional photos and while I personally think I might prefer the black variation or maybe just stick with the avant garde I have on it now, I believe taste is very personal so if it pleases you, then you have every right to enjoy your car.Originally posted by benzinoc230

I find myself always defending my decisions and opinions on this forum. Other Forums are not this, Rude, I'll say for lack of more appropriate wording. I have noticed that a large number of members of this site are pretty much driving the same modded car, AMG's Monoblocks with AvanteGrilles and Braubus tips lol. I understand that some of you guys work @ Taco Bell during the day and run home to insult peoples decisions and to tell other members "to search for answers first" instead of enjoying the number of different options our cars can have.
For every 2 people that hate my car, 50 more like it. Above that I love what I've done. Now, I'm off to Mymbonline.com.

Dude are you serious? I for starters didnt mean to offend you in any way and if I did, I personally apologise.Originally posted by benzinoc230

"What were you thinking" was based on your BMW styled wheels because lets face it, the resemblence is TOO obvious! A member here even called BMW an "enemy" (joking about it offcourse) but the competitive comparison between these 2 brands is there, whether we like it or not, from both sides. So when someone chooses to put these wheels on his merc it makes you wonder... what is he thinking?
And I didnt say anything about the grille, because I knew you had taken enough heat already. But heat is not alyays bad. When you post your pics in any forum, you bring the comments on yourself, good or bad. Thatswhy in forums you can learn about many other stuff like, trends around the world, you can learn how to give your car character and you can find the means to get there. Slap almost any set of rims on your car and it will look sweeter. Do you think thats enough? How can you complete the look of your car, if you dont have a complete look? What do you want for your car, to be a cruiser? Fine, dont lower it, nobody can give you a hard time, what do you need these sporty rims then? with that ride height, it looks awkward. Or maybe you would like it sporty after all... cool but, why does it sit like an ML, cause of the grille maybe? The emblem is huge, the fins are huge the size of the thing is huge. And that CAN be fine as long as you complete the look. You just need to put more huge stuff on your car like 19s, a large boodykit maybe, really lower it (makes the car look 10x wider) etc. Do you like the look of your car? I do, its just incomplete. Please dont be mad, Im trying to explain my point of view with as much english I can talk. And if you want rude, try MBworld!

I wouldn't say people are rude. And if you want to go ahead and challenge the "status quo" of 202 modding, go ahead and prove everyone else wrong. In the end, it's your car, you have to live with it and love it.Originally posted by benzinoc230

A little advice though, small resolution, extreme contrast photos with bad angles aren't going to help your car look better.
I actually think the wheels aren't that bad, I've seen a W203 on them that looked pretty hot.

Hey lets see a pic from a distance so the WHOLEc car can be viewed. I was considering the same grille in black, looks better on a silver car IMO
