Don't know if it fits a C55 but I bought a hood latch handle from an E series and it worked fine...when I open the hood I have to pull the handle twice thats all and it was like $7.

Can a new grill similar to this be purchased for a CLK 200? I would really like the new Mercedes logo on the grill instead of sticking up from the hood.

Hey guys. Thought I'd ask this question here. I have enclosed two photos of what I believe to be the hood latch and grille support. I'm pretty sure the grille support is correct, but I'm not so sure on the hood latch. If someone can verify whether or not the hood latch is correct would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

souljas_1 · 08-21-2008, 07:19 PM

Anyone? I really want to order the factory grille and latch parts. Thanks.

Hey guys, Ive ordered the CLK55 Grill, Support and latch.

Ive having trouble now that Ive got the latch part. Could someone give me the correct part number for this.
The dealer has sent me one that looks alot different then the c55 one. This new part has no handle and it won't be able to mount the my hood.

Ill get a picture up in a couple mins..

Thanks

It will look diff-its flat-no vertical "handle" on it either-2 bolts are all you need (pull the chrome strip off the hood using the plastic "nuts' to get it to seat flat)-

RicksC55AMG · 08-05-2009, 01:54 PM

Hey Sorry I sent that message from my phone. Here's a picture of what I got.

C55 Latch

And this would be the new "CLK55 latch"

Ive installed the grill and the emblem but I Left out the Middle latch for now.. Whats happening is the new latch is not able to mount.. and the My C55 latch hits the new grill and wont let the hood come all the way down.

Any information would be great.

rockjock · 08-05-2009, 02:32 PM

C55 latch wont work-as long as you have removed the front grill-and the top chrome piece (2 pc grill

) that latch should work-remember-the flat part points towards you :lol:
that looks dead on to what I have on mine.....

RicksC55AMG · 08-05-2009, 02:57 PM

That 2nd picture is a side latch. Not the middle handle part, Anyone have the part number for the middle?

New CLK55 side latch they sent..

Russel Stevens: "They are only listing a three slat grill and that number is A 209 880 01 23. The center support is A 209 888 00 90, There are two (treenail fastners) A 000 988 87 25, two bolts A 001 990 38 36, hood latch A 209 880 01 64"

me: Grille: 209 880 0123 9040
Brace (support): 209 888 0090
Hood Latch: 209 880 0064

Sorry for resurrecting this old thread. But I would like to purchase this AMG flat badge too. OP said he got it from "Mario". Anybody got his contact info?

Thanks!

sm00thguy88 · 04-23-2011, 12:02 PM

Nevermind. I saw in another thread that Mario's AMG badge yellows and fades after a year or so. I guess I'll just stick with the resin ones.

Who is selling the best quality flat badge right now?
