Here's a picture I posted back in October. Get the formymercedes.com grille, it's a cheaper in price compared to the Expression grille, and fits better.

I actually have the "Prestige" Sport Grill with Black/Chrome Fins from formymercedes. it looks like the stock grille, but with a star. It's not one of the most favorite grill on this forum. Thinking of buying the CL grill like most members have done. I will have to shell out another $249 though.

Does anyone know if the w203 coupe and sedan grills can be interchanged?

I have seen a lot of post about putting new grills on the sedan, but they are mostly from formymercedes. I like the look of the 05 coupe grill.

For those of you who bought the CL grille from Jerry, he has a hood latch specifically for this grille. a lot of you had mentioned that the stock latch is short. the manafacurer sent him several to fix the problem. Jerry is kind enough to send it to you FREE OF CHARGE INCLUDING SHIPPING. I'm just ordering my CL grille and it will be included with it. Although he's never replaced the latch on a W203, he says it should be easy and possibly a pin holding it together.

This is great news. I'll email him now. Although it is tricky popping the hood sometimes, other times it works with no problem. This will be much better for service and other times when I'm not there to pop it myself so the dummies don't break it.

2006 Acura RL - Aspec rims/spoiler, JDM grille
Grille Finally Installed

Got this from formymercedes... excellent customer service. Also included the hood latch and a complementary brush to clean inside the vents etc.. I think it looks much better.. it was a very easy mod. Only thing, my stock grille has 6 mounting points where the CL grille has 8. So I'm missing two screws. But it still holds pretty tight.

really? How would that look. I never thought about that. Wonder if anyone can do a photoshop of that. I'll try search the forum to see if anyone else has done it...do you all know of anyone who has? Thanks
