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?

OK I couldn't wait for anyone to post a pic lol so I went ahead and found someones car on here and ps'd it. It would look even better in person tho because i would do the mesh behind the fin and a thin frame around it like oem



Now come on someone lets get this project going give me ur crappy 3 fin grill

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?

What they should make is.. Grille with that full on black criss cross plastic stuff.. I think it would look sick.. and put a small little logo on the bottom left.. Ive seen one on a is 300

Something like this

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

white and whiter
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.
