Hey guys,
Just bought c180k cl203(yay!) and it's great but it's time for me to pimp the car out. I'm looking for a new grille but haven't had any luck so far(i live in Australia). There are a lot of them for the W203 but from what I read on this forum it wouldn't fit for my coupe. So does anyone have any idea where I could get some cool looking grilles for my car? Maybe grilles from some other models fit on my car?

What are my options here?

Thanks!

The 2005 'cheese grater grill' as I affectionally call it, can be fitted to your 2003.
Then there's the Starless grill that some have, can't think of the name right now,
ah yes, Mattig.
I have to 2005 grill, if you click on my sig and go to the last page....

Not a whole lot of choice....

The starless mattig grille looks pretty good though. Any idea where I can get it? Having problem finding it

There's a link somewhere to a company in Germany.
Also, try german ebay, using the google translator.
Search on CL203 which is what our cars are known by,
other than sportscoupe.

Ha, this is a fibergalss replica of the Mattig, (Fiberglass is a pain)
and the pics. at least one is a forum member, and no he doesn't have a fiberglass grill.
I doubt the person selling these even is displaying an actual picture of the product.

Lol, i used that one. It is a PITA because you have drill holes and sand some portion of the peg down. But once you go through the hassle, it works well.

Here it is after it's installed:

Here is the PITA part...lol

Had to cut that segment to make it fit. Don't exactly remember why

Thanks.
Used plasti dip. It holds up quite well. Painted 2-3 years ago and still pretty decent looking.
