2002 Mercedes Benz C230 Coupe
Didnt want to start a new thread for this.

Im painting my coupe grill (except the top and bottom chrome strips) black to match my coupes color.

Does anyone know how to remove the star from the grill to make it easier to paint? Pics would be helpful too.

Thanks guys.

The grille start can be removed by turning counterclockwise about 10-15 deg, at which point it can be easily removed. There are 6 plastic hooks around the circumference.

Thanks slammer.

Ill give it a shot, although I did try before and it didnt seem to move. Maybe I wasnt using enough force.

I bought mine off parts.com
getmercedesparts.com is also good, but both are in USA.

Now you just need the pn.
Which is around here somewhere,
can someone chime in?
There's a thread that shows how to modify it to make it fit.

my hero.

I was searching everywhere for that part number!! The first post of this thread had "203-880-03-83-9744" and some other uk thread had a different part number posted. Couldn't find anything!

THANK YOU!!

Oh and yes I was reading about how you need to modify the grille in order for it to fit. Doesn't seem too difficult.

Or get an extra OEM coupe grille and the modification begins while the search ends

Can anyone help me find the cheese grater grille. I cannot find it anywhere. Thanks in advance
Is the perforated grille the oem 2005? i'm a bit confused. If that is the case i will get it from the sites detective John Kimbal provided.

Yep, that is the stock '05 grill. Just did it myself, just a few cuts and it fits fine.

Cuts? Would be awesome if you could take some pics and photoshop or on your phone circle where the cuts would be made?

Also is it fully chrome?

No, it is bright silver paint. Same thing that is in C230 Sport Coupe's signature. I took some pictures when I put it in, so if I can find them when I get back home I will post. Pretty obvious once you have them side by side.

The search button is your friend.
Go advanced and search under my username + whatever search terms, maybe the pn?
I posted pics of the cuts. I used a hacksaw blade.
