I am looking to install the single fine grille like the face lifted C63's on my 2011 C63. I like the look of the single fin better than the double. Can someone point me to the right direction as to where I can buy one from?

Thanks

I got mine from my local MB store. Was not that much if I recall correct

Will a 2013 grille fit the 2011 cars without any additional modifications or anything?

If so, I can call and ask my local dealer.

Yamdan

No it wont. But with some small modifications it will.
And it will not be 100% but ok.
I can post some pictures later. On the Iphone right now

What sort of modifications are we talking about? I don't want it to be too complicated or anything and still not look as good. Thanks will look forward to the pictures.

Yamdan

You have to make some new fittings in the new grill. But not that hard so dont worry about it.
I have on picture here and can post some more later on.

Just gotta do some trimming...pic in my sig

What sort of trimming/modifications are we talking about? From the pics the fitment doesn't look too bad.

No intend of hijacking the thread, but where do you get your trunk spoiler? Thx

Yamdan

Got it from Ebay and a seller called Carbon King. Super quality and really good seller.
Fitment was spot on!

Yamdan

You have to make some adjustments to the fittings but easy done
Had to dremel the tabs so the clips would clip on since the 2012 grille holes are located differently than the old one. Its fairly easy but you have to be very careful because if you make the holes too big, otherwise it wouldn't clip on.

Here are some pics from Domes car

Maybe there is some company that makes aftermarket ones that look just like OEM ones? I am not a handy person so I am afraid if I have to make modifications I will end up messing something up.

something like this

Yeah I tryed to find one but no luck :-(. So was the Oem route I had to go.

Yea I just noticed that it won't fit c63's from what's in the description. I wonder why they don't have any for C63's....if anyone knows of any, let me know.

It would be awesome if I can find a CF grill (single fin) for the pre-facelifted model.

papashango

I would love a CF grille as well but all the ones I've seen so far get rid of the star. I think the star is what makes the car stand out like crazy so if I can find a single fin CF grille with a start, that'd be magic!

Alternatively, I would be happy with the face lifted grille on my car. So waiting for some of you guys to tell me what exactly I need to do to make the new ones fit our cars. Or just sell me one with the modification already done!
