It is a C55, which has the front end of a w209 (CLK). Therefor it won't fit our cars. *tear*

Still no single fin grill for w203s?? Hmm I wonder if anyone has the w203 3 fin grill from ebay that they would sell to me pretty cheap so I could modify it into a single fin grill. I have bunch of experience with abs plastic so it should be doable. Can someone post a nice pic with the 3 fin grill so I can photoshop it?

I've been looking for this grille for so long now. I think I will have to accept the fact that the w203 is a dying breed and everyone is already focusing on the w204 for mods.

I'd be interested to see a custom grill like this for us. I may play around with it when I have some time.

Yeah that's what I'm saying I doubt any company will make one for us but I guess we can sit and wait or just custom make something.. soo is there anyone that plans on getting rid of their ebay 3 fin grill.. I want a used one to fabricate it into a single fin or something cool..

^ Well the easiest mesh to get would be the aluminum one from home depot and such that people use for bumpers.. but I would prefer to get the thicker plastic one that comes oem or maybe use the mesh from another cars bumper?

The plain grill mesh would be easy to fabricate but I think it would look way outta place on our cars.. its more of a jdm thing and the way our grill and hood is shaped would be akward.. but idk maybe if someone made a sick looking one it would be cool

grille this large needs a "break" in the middle like the Continental GT. you can try it, but personally it doesn't match with the front end of the w203.

^ That grill looks good on that car but it might not be so cool on a w203.. But I think if you want to see something to do it yourself and see if you like it.

Hell no to that after seeing a close enough PS one fin grille on a w203. Thanks BTW for the effort.
I'll stick to my current setup.
