HI,

I have a 1995 C280 and had the hood ornament stolen while on campus at SMU - I can't believe of all places it would get stolen here. Some juvenile is probably wearing it around there neck as a necklace. I do have a bra on the front of the car and I thought maybe that attracted attention to the car since the shiny chrome star contrast with matte black vinyl. Anyways, it looks like they broke the star off from is "bulbous" socket because its still there receseed in the circular medallion. Should I replace it with another star or flat medallion cap ala SL or SLK? Also, waht can I do about the front grill - its original, but I want to replace it because I don't like all the grey plastic? The car is metallic gray with stock SLK wheels. What type of grill would look good to go with new hood ornament? I was thinking avantgarde black insert from Bekkers or 'SL' grill w/ star from Precision Auto? Anyhow, I would appreciate any comments and information about what to do and where to get if from, and can I put the new hood ornament in myself?

Thanks
