Where to get a 05+ grill ???

I painted mine black months ago but now I want to go back to stock and the dealership only sells the whole assembly not just the chrome part. Does anyone know where I might be able to buy one from? Ebay only has the later grills on there now or the CL style. Thx....

I think someone was selling one in the classifieds not too long ago, but not sure if that's gone. I'm sure if you search for "w203 grille" in the classifieds thread, there'll be a few threads that come up.

Other than that, you can check with Performance Products. They have the w203 schematic in their catalog. It has the price listed as $143.50 for the sport version (Item #88-1013).

Don't forget to check the price at your local dealer...I think they are reasonable prices similar to performance products..

The dealer retail price on a grille is about $250 ish, as you found from calling your dealer. If you mail order, you can get wholesale price, which is about $140. Order from Performance Products as Drex said above. My dealer gave me wholesale price on mine, which was $141.50.

Reasonable prices from the stealership?

Maybe you should call your dealer first to get a price on a part before you say that performance products has prices similiar to the dealer. Performance products sells parts at a dealers "wholesale price". Dealers don't sell at wholesale price to the general public.

I think you can find them on ebay or if you look in the for sale section you may be able to find some also.

EDIT: Just noticed you checked ebay so obviously its a no go. Again the FS section ftw.

What do you mean about just the chrome part and not the whole assembly?? I recently bought the 2004 Sport Sedan grille and switched it with my luxury grille. The only difference is the luxury grille has grey slats, the sport has black. I paid about $160 at the dealer. It is just plastic by the way.

To expand on what pmb said... The 2005+ sport and luxury grille's have 3 slats. The Sport has black slats and the Luxury have grey slats. However grille's from 2001-2004 have 4 slats, and these grille's make your car look dated. PMB most likely bought a 2005+ sport grille to replace his luxury grille.

Yes, I have a 2005, so mine had three slats to begin with. But I just wanted the same thing with black slats. I think that is what the OP wants to do right?
