I have yet to see a perfect fitting aftermarket grill. The gap I see in most would annoy me.

They will ship after the holiday. I'll post pictures as soon as I get it

Received the grill yesterday, took 3 days from ebay order to delivery even with the holiday, it shipped on the day I ordered 11/24 and it arrived on 11/27. 10 minute install and a perfect fit IMO, only tools needed were a 10mm open end to change the T brace behind the middle of grill, everything else pops and snaps together.. The grill comes with a OEM MBZ Star in the factory box and a new T piece brace to angle it correctly. Got it from this e bay vendor I recommend it, http://www.ebay.com/itm/271205223592...84.m1423.l2649

The fit is as fight as the actory part and the gap around it were no more than the factory grill, less than 1/8" and very even all around.

Thank you for posting the followup and pictures. Makes me want to replace mine. I think it looks great!

I think that looks really cool. I'm going to be placing an order right away. Thanks for the photos

Thanks for the comments Guys, Im very happy with the look. The fit and finish on this grille is as good as a OEM part that came off.

So the distronic sits in the star

No. Distronic radar sensor is behind star and it need special star plate for working.

There stays 2008-2011 and My Car is 2011.07 (facelift). So is there some differense with 2012-2013 grill?

Just thought I would post a followup.

I also bought the grill that Xaran did last week. It got to me in about 4 days time and install was pretty darn easy. I found out my actual hood was a little crooked but can't notice it unless you are really in close. I think it looks pretty good and I have not noticed and spaces or gaps.

Pics are from this morning. It's -30 to -40 with wind here in MN so forgive the dirty car but it's cold!

Looks great IMO!

Its surprising how quick and easy it is to pop the grille on and off !

Looking at your car and how winter is where you live it makes me appreciate my So Cal winter, its 70 here today and nights in the mountains where I live are still only in in the 40s

55tech sells a single fin grille with a black border, similar to the Edition 507 C63 grille. I'm thinking of getting that one.

Bought mine from CKS Performance.com. Perfect fit for my 2013 C250 Coupe. Make sure if you order that the grill finish matches your car---Either glossy or flat black.

If any of you are planning to get the Illuminated Star, you might want to keep in mind that the stars being used in some of these grills are different. 55tech told me that they use M-Class (W163) stars in their single slat grills.
