C-Class Coupe 2012
Pictures of your aftermarket Grille please

Hi everyone,

Can anyone that has swapped their grille for an aftermarket grille put up pics of it? It would be really helpful if you could take some close up pics from a few angles to really show what it looks like.

Given that grilles are only available for w204 sedans, I'm sure a lot of coupe owners are wondering what the fitment of these grilles (designed to fit sedans) is like on a coupe and how close to "perfect" the fitment is etc.

I've seen some photos on the SL style and C63 style grille on these forums but some close up pics would be really useful.


Thanks in advance.

Check the Official picture thread, you will probably get more results. I know that the two style grilles that we know will fit are taken in that thread. One is a "SL-Style grille", the other is a C63 replica grille (made to fit the C250/C300/C350, as the C63 grille is too big to fit OEM).

In addition, there are a few pics of people that have plasti-dipped and painted their OEM grilles.
Here is the SL-Style grille:

Is there any fitment issues with the SL-Style grill like with the c63 replica (as its not made for the coupe)?

Brabus makes one that looks like the sport grill but without the emblem, just the 2 fins, or you could get the luxury grill, which has a tiny emblem at the top, but doesnt look sporty

If you have the distronic (radar) feature then you have no choice but to live with the large centre emblem or button as I like to call it

Another round of ICE
Here is an AMG style grille on a sedan. It arrived all matte black and was painted bodycolor.

I think I like that one more than the SL style, is that one made for the regular coupe, as well? And where did you get it?

Honestly, I never liked getting rid of the Mercedes logo. It really ties the car together (did it or did it not, dude?) and just completes the look.

Will probably be ordering this (C63 style) grill from : cksperformance.com soon. They have a wide variety of aftermarket items & are priced competitively. Also cover many car brands.

Anything that I should know before ordering?
