I got the 4-slat grille.

Still not even close, Frank. It has the frame sides on the grille. My grille slats extend all the way to each side (w/o a frame for the slats), so the contours are more seemless.

FrankW

get the black one and less obvious. LOL

drexappeal

That's true, but I still notice...LOL.

SEXSPHERE

I can help you guys to get this custom grille made.. It was on my car and look like this (without the vertical linings)


Can use the 2005-2007 style grille too so it will be a "3 slatted" custom grille

Price: $380 shipped and body colour painted.

if i did not spend the money on my current grill i would have bought this off u.

That looks exactly like the Mattig sedan grille. And the Mattig sedan grille is cheaper than the price you're saying, if memory serves me correct.

anthuny85

do they still make the mattig sedan grille? i though they only made coupes.

SEXSPHERE

This is custom made from the OEM grille. The quality is unquestionable. Anyways for those who are interested, I can only take order within this week. Can be made for other cars too as long as using the original oem grille.

Here's the mattig grille for the sedan:

You want to re-think that price SEXSPHERE?

SEXSPHERE

Let me break it down. Mattig grille $240 + shipping from europe $40 + get it painted $100++? = $380++

So my price is still reasonable.

Again, I'm not forcing them to buy, I just want to help this board members out since these custom made grille is hard to find. It can be made easily in the north america. Most bodyshop can do it, but I bet it will cost more than $380 for sure.

Btw I make one too for my W211 and Im finally back to the mercedes club. I will keep the forum updated on my upcoming project

lol, i'm doing the same thing to my old grille meself. i just hope it looks as good as yours!

tokyo0one

That looks really clean. Too expensive for me though. How much w/out paint??

14cue

can you make it for the C55? i would be interested in this but not painted. i just want the vertical bar deleted.

SEXSPHERE

The price wont be much different with or without paint. About 30 bucks. Since getting it painted is not that expensive here in Indonesia.

14cue, let me see if i can get the C55 grille here in Indonesia, but the chance is too low since there is no C55 here. Maybe there is, but no more than 5 units.

wow... coupe verson look the best, but just that it look bad it was painted Pewter

anthuny85

why dont you just paint it? its not that hard to have that PEWTER color removed off of your RED car.

kirax2

i've been thinking, black it out, paint it silver, or CF tape it again

are those OZ superlegrea rims?? do you still have your DTM rims you got from Jason before?

sarcazm1

im down...i stay in florida... can u make it in chrome or does it have to come painted my cars pewter

FrankW

cappa had his done on the 05+ sport grille. removing the the vertical slat made the grille extremely weak (the middle portion) He already had his cracked and repaired once already and it has cracked again. just a warning for whoever wants to do this. adding stronger support behind the horizontal slat would be a good idea too. cost around the same sexsphere posted or less.

I "think" the Mattig grilel will be more durable. painting the grille is about $80 where i'm at.

Hey guys, I decided to keep my car, and I wanted to ask your opinion on something. I have an Glacier White 2001 C240 Benz, and I wanted to get the white CL grill, I think it looks really nice, but my question is will this match the color of my car?

also, does anyone know how on heck I go about smoking my mirror blinkers?

Thanks!

ROLLNNN

I contacted these guys about 4 months ago about there CL grilles and if they were color matched, They told me that they do not guarantee the color match, cuz they do not want to be responsible if it is slightly off. To be fair, he also told me that, they usually dont get any complaints.. Not sure where you are located, but if you are in so cal, they will let you see if it matches, there store is in North Hollywood..

acedking90

hmmm, im really frustrated as to what i should do, any suggestions? I live in New Hampshire btw.

anthuny85

i just sold my grille to rolllln and it matches pretty well IMO, it is the same exact grille basically.

ROLLNNN

it actually matches really well, but we have the alabaster white, acedking is looking for glacier white. Are these colors the same, did they change the color name maybe??
