Just got a reply from Jerry -

I just received a fitment sample of the CL grill for W203 - so I need to find a W203 to see how well it fits. Then I can order production grills.

Jerry
Someone should visit him and take a pic of the grill

I'm a few miles away from him. I'll try to set something up with him and see what turns up.

I looked at the website, thanks for the link. I want to stick with this grill because it has the "3-D" hollow star. The one on autoblz is the filled in one that I just don't like as much.

Thanks,
Bill

I looked at both, the sport grill had a border around it though. If I am mistaken I am sorry.

Well, I know that I said I'd contact Jerry, but I just haven't had the time to get in touch with him. I'll try to send him an email today and see if he still needs someone for testing of the fit on the grill.

According to Jerry, the grills have been ordered (20 w/ silver slats, 20 w/ black) from the manufacturer and should be arriving in less than a month. I will keep all updated.

So he got someone to test the fit? Or are we flying blind?

Thanks,

Supposedly, he took it to a dealership and had it test fitted there. He says he did not take any pictures and the grille that was sent to him for fitment purposes is not painted or chromed, so it would do no good for him to show pics of an "unfinished" product. I guess we'll have to wait and see what it looks like when he receives the finished product and takes pics of it on a sedan.

OK, since I've been trying to read so many diferent threads at the same time, I didn't notice that Oggle's and Lorinsercclass use the same grill. OK, then after reading other threads I should take it that there are really only 2 real good grills out there :

1- Oggle & Lorinser's : MHDezent "CL type" from 2 places : a- Evosport $?? don't know, website sucks, no search engine and like I said before, webpage sucks or b- Oberklasse listed at $795.00

2- The one from formymercedes.com. They have 2 diferent ones "Prestige" for $229.00 and the "Elegance" at $149.00. I guess the $149 is out so is the "Prestige" the one everybody is talking about here for months or are you still waiting for that new one ?

Just trying to sum up the 3 pages of this thread.

BTW, I went to Performance Products and when I tried to buy the CL grill it replied " CL Style Grille is not available for 2005 MERCEDES-BENZ C230 " , so I guess that one is out of the picture too.

Prestige or Elegance, they're both the smaller-looking grille. Not the same as the ones LorinserCClass and I have. Specifically ask for the MHDezent or Expression grille. All others are not the same.

The closest one in appearance so far, is this "Taiwanese" grille that's often listed on eBay. However the center star is flat and not 3D, so it's up to you.
