Early C55 Grill Replica available for W203?

Is a replica of this pattern C55 grill available for the standard W203? - If so let me know where please.

im PRETTY sure something of the sort doesnt exist for the standard (non w209) front end on the w203. Itd look good though

Maybe someone could fabicate something for the sportcoupe but not for the sedan. It would be nice though since it looks more aggresive.

It won't be that wide, you can try the Mattig grill.

white and whiter
the mattig has the verticle sides.

if something like that comes out for the regular 203. i'll be down to get one. someone good with pshop and do one

i think that's the best feature on the C55 btw. don't know why do ppl change theirs out for the CLK star grilles.

It's a forlorn hope. The Mattig for the Coupe gets close. I don't like the Big star. I think the 203 grill is too narrow to carry it. I've searched but hoped that someone had found one. I accept that the fabrication would be different than that on the C55 but not impossible.

Thanks Mu - I don't really have the resources to do it cost effectively.

hmmm nice thought..... maybe i'll modify my matte grille to look like it. this would probably require adding chrome to the strips, or the tips of the strips

Yeah - Great - needs to be black painted with the chrome strips to work IMHO
