...I thought I'd try something. :D To me anyway, the grille of the Mercedes SL 'Pagoda' never looked quite right. What do we think of my, erm, 'restyle'? Edit: Is that image showing up for anyone else? It's just showing as a little blue question mark on my machine.

Yes it's an improvement, but it's also a bit too modern a look for the car.

I didn't go too wild with it. I love the rest of the car (hence my spending six precious minutes in Photoshop 'fixing' it) but to me the grille just looks like a carryover from the previous SL. I reckon taking out the central bar puts more emphasis on the three pointed star and the shape of the grille surround, as well as making the star look like it's 'floating'.

Ok, I'll stop pretending I'm Giugiaro now and go back to the day job.
