I noticed on your website your white is not the same exact grill as the silver. If you look at the left and right edges and also the top fin. It seems the white one is the better one that looks more like the expression grill. It is more recessed on the top which leaves a gap between the hood and the grill on the first fin make it more uniform with the rest of the fins. Is the black the same as this white one?
I THINK that particular grille is for a W211 03-06 E-Class. I may be wrong though and it could be a new style grille

aznmode, the white one is an "older" style. The black grille we have is just like the one in the picture. I personally think it looks better than the white because it's flush with the hood, the flat part of the white grille makes it look kind of awkward.

Does anyone have any pictures of the CL grille on a Cubanite Silver Metallic (or I think Pewter Metallic is the same thing)? I really like this grille, but I don't see anyone who has it in my color and I'm not sure how I like the black grille.
Does anyone have any opinion whether I should do the grille of the AMG spoiler first?

CL style grill slighty modded
Used the dremmell to cut and shave tabs.
Sanded down with 400 grit sand paper to smooth it out.
Lightly sanded entire grill so paint will stick.
Painted entire grill with Autozone auto paint. Clear coat after.
Dry overnight.
Pretty close color match and you cant even tell the difference. But a lot cleaner than the original.

Did you purchase this grill from Jakuo? I seen another one of these on ebay going for like $249 but it looks identical to Jakuo's. I'm wondering which this one is. Thanks.

If you're going to do this, make sure you apply several coats of clear and let it dry some after each clear coat. The sheen isn't as shiny as my car paint but you can only tell if you look really close. I actually prefer it this way, but if you dont, you might need to apply a few more after it completely dries.
EDIT: I used CL style grill from ebay. Seller Jakuo.
