There isn't one for your car, that is a CLK grille.

Thats upsetting, guess I'll find something else in the meantime. Meanwhile, have to get body damage fixed from some jerkbox hitting me =[.

Hey IllusionX, this might be of interest to you...

https://mbworld.org/forums/c32-amg-c...thread-67.html

Scroll down to the 7th post by "STGzAMG", and you'll notice a C32 with a single fin grill. Maybe someone here on the forum owns that specific car...

Nope, they don't make it for the w203(non c55). I personally like the design of the starless 4 slat grill from ED but it's too expensive and the fitment needs work.

NOPE.. His car had the 3 fin grill with the top and bottom chrome slats painted black to give it that 1 fin look but its not a true single fin.. You can do that I guess

Probably going to do this, with the smoked side markers and black projector headlights.

Any ideas on where I can find a replacement bumper mesh grille?

E350 4D 4Matic - 2012
hey yall, about to revive this old thread.

i got a grille, put it on, however my star didnt come attached. I have a problem because I can't push the star all the way in as it sticks out about 1/2 an inch. like others have said here, a tooth-like washer works to push the star all the way into the grille, but i havent tried it yet(mine didn't come with one). Those who have tried it, or anyone else that knows, is this an effective way to get the star all the way in.

I also read that jb epoxy weld would work. what do you guys think i should do?

I like the 3-bar grille.....

Here is my '07 C230 with the clear front side lenses, the flat hood ornament and the revised grille.

Btw, I also retrofitted the OEM command radio/nav head unit (the car already had the 320w 12-speaker H-K Logic7 system), the OEM iPod interface, and the OEM Bluetooth phone setup.

I usually don't like the CL Grille, but that one looks a little different than most, but regardless -- it looks quite nice!! Good work. Very clean.

I know there are the after market CL W215 "Style" Grills for the W203 but would a Genuine OEM CL W215 Grill fit a W203 ? Is it a easy straight swop ?

Thanks

Hey Guys,

Sorry, but I didn't want to read through this whole thing...

Can someone tell me the part number(s) of the star grilles that would fit my '02 C320 wagon? Or, what year/models would work? I've heard either a w209 or w211 grille would work.

Thanks

Henry

Sorry to bump this...
I was looking to replace my stock grille on my '02 c240. I photoshopped a few grilles onto my car to see how they would look, but I'd like to keep my standing hood emblem. I looked through this thread last night and don't remember seeing any CL-style grilles without the giant star on it(this). Does anyone know if that exists? I didn't even see 1 on ebay.

Search through the forum, or look on ebay for your car
