This came today, and I like it. Reminds me of the E55.
I also have a Black, with chrome star stock SL63 grille coming in soon.
For now, I'll keep this one on. It's pretty slick IMO.

I like it. Are you going to put the star ornament on the hood?

nidyanazo

That's a great idea!

I just looked into it, but the issue is the way the flat badge attaches is like this:





Whereas the hood ornament mounts like this:




Quite a difference unfortunately.

Anyhow, I have a black AMG badge on the hood rightnow that I do like..

Here's a phone camera pic from a couple days ago, before I swapped the grilles, where you can just make it out. Sorry I dont have any better pics showing it. It is an especially nice mod for cars with the mercedes star in the grille, as having 2 star logos just inches from one another is quite redundant.

Finally, here's the SL63 style grille I have on order, with expected delivery in 2 weeks.
I saw this car driving and knew I liked it.. So I decided to order all the aftermarked grilles for this model car I could find that looked nice.





Except mine has a different mesh pattern in the star area..




Should resemble the SL63, but with my favourite classic style 4 lamp mercedes headlights.

Since we live close, I'll take your factory grill off of you

OCKlasse

Here you go

nidyanazo

Yeah, you're my next city over neighbor! But nah, I gotta keep it. Your car has that sick color (designo option?) and the grill would not look right. (My stock one is painted to match the body color silver on the fins)

And anyways, yours looks baller with the SL63 look grill in place

OCKlasse

Thanks, and no, not Designo. Just rare...

Did you ever get that rear custom control arm project finished and installed? The rear of your car looks pretty low, rims are tucking.

OCKlasse

Yup

Petej

The chrome on mine is pealing off. Let me know which grill you decide to sell.

JPhamily

Very nice man, I'm diggin it. Now you gotta lower the front a little more and it will be perfect. I just got my car back from the shop, got my transmission mount and motor mounts replaced. Also waiting on a tire to come in. Will post pictures of my new setup when I get it mounted.

The factory grille on my 55 is showing wear, rock Chips, bug stains, etc. Can you tell where SL style one comes from and roughly what it costs? Is it supposed to be a direct fit? Thanks...

Where did you pick up the badgeless grille?THe first one on the pics

JPhamily

eBay.

I really dislike all of the other grills besides the factory one. The badgeless one looks decent I guess, but the other ones off the newer cars look hokey to me.

Mine has the single fin done in carbon fiber, looks very nice IMO

Guilty

nidya, please leave your car alone, you made it hideous.

Guilty

LOL.

1. We're talking about your ugly cheap *** car, not mine. But since you don't like the stock chrome, email AMG designers and give them your opinion, I'm sure they'll listen to you. (Don't forget to attach some pictures of your car, I'm sure they need a good laugh)

2. I agree, my city is cheap. I'll be moving out soon.

3. It's a SL63 grill, not a CL. It looks ugly in your car. In matter fact, everything you do to your car is hideous. Ricer #1.

4. Thxgoodbye

I tried to tell him, but he thinks he's some sort of pioneer in designing his W215 More people are starting to tell him the truth. Coming at me for having tons of carbon fiber a custom one off hood lol.

If he likes it, that's fine. But he just keeps rambling about it. The only thing he did that looks proper are the clear side markers (which most likely still light up yellow). Nothing else. The Chinese AMG badges, a 'Supercharged' badge on the trunk ( ), the mismatched mesh, tinting the front lights (which look brown in the day), unflattering rims for the body etc... like WTF
If you want to make it custom, do it right, especially when its a CL.

Hes banned, so no one has to worry about his ugly *** car anymore.

layzie12g

He tried posting things to help out. Can not blame the guy for that. When you modify one of these cars in the way that he did you need to expect comments from people. Good or bad. It was how he reacted to them is what did him in.

zneB-sedecreM

I don't get it, why did he wait til he got banned? He made a whole "Goodbye/I'm Leaving MBWorld/This Place Sucks" thread. But he just kept posting/making new threads/staying around knocking everyone that had anything but the positive criticism he was so confident he'd receive fir his "mods."

The things that bothered me most were the stupid supercharged stickers and the ridiculous alcantara material added on top of the stock steering wheel. It looked like a halfass steering wheel cover- but said "it's just the way he wants it- fully custom" blah blah. If you're going to do something, do it right or don't bother at all.

Not a fan of the clear markers. Euro delete is the way to go.
