Do you know this gill?

Does anyone know what after market grill this is or if it DIY? I've seen similar grills but they didn't have the outside edge trim.

I have seen that type of grill but 3 slat instead of 2. All this owner did is paint the edges.

I can't find the 3 slat at the moment but here is 4 slat.

sorry karo, but it's actually a different kind of cl grill. i looked for in for a couple of months but couldn't find it anywhere in the states. another this is that you have to get the outer end color matched, so i gave up my search. if i run across it i'll let you know. lol

Ya, you're right because these the fins don't touch the sides (frame). I wonder if it's just modified, someone just DIYed it?

lol nah i've seen a couple of c-class pictures that have it. just dunno where to go about finding it.

another thing that put me off though, is that it makes the grill look tiny relative to the car. and it doesn't sit flush, so you know it wasn't an "original design" aspect to the w203.

p.s. i think the original grill looks the best on our cars. i haven't gotten tired of looking at it, as i have for any other aftermarket grill. so OP save your money. i customized my original grill and ended up buying another stock one. lol

I emailed the owner (Harry Madan) but have not hear back. It looks to me like the 55Tech grill fitted in the OEM frame that has been painted body color.

I was thinking of doing the CF lip, 3M CF the slats and 3M CF the roof on my white 240.

if it were a grill made to fit the 203, how would in the stock grill frame unless the fitment was HORRIBLE to begin with?

Looks so similar to this but this is a w204 grill and has an extra slat.

Strange. Maybe it's custom...
