Changed CL Grille

dbtk · 05-26-2010, 06:25 PM

I recently switched out my original CL600 grille for an OEM AMG one. I was trying to achieve a more aggressive appearance. What do you all think? (new vs. old shots)

I like it. I'm actually contemplating replacing my grille with the AMG version. What's the part number and cost? Was it easy to install?

subtle, but nice IMO. i love the CL600

A 216 880 65 83

I purchased it on eBay for $280 shipped.

Very easy to install. Four bolts on top and four clips below.

It looks awesome. I'm looking to replace my own grille now, but i didn't find anything on ebay. The shipping might also be a problem since i live in Romania, could you please tell me what you searched , on ebay ? Cl grill or w216 grill doesn't work.

I searched "CL63 grille". I found two. One had a damaged clip from a prior accident and the other was new. I opted for the new one since the price differential was only $50USD. Best of luck sourcing one for your CL.

Here is a full body angle shot...(albeit from my iPhone--bit cloudy out)...

Thanks for the info! The star doesn't come with the grille, right? So, I can simply move the star logo/radar cover to the new grille?

Sorry, I am unable to answer for sure. The one I purchased came with the Distronic center star cover.
