CL Grill
Hi there guys. I want to install a CL looking grill on my C Class sedan. Has anyone got any pictures of their C class with one of these. Just wondering how nice they look?
Thanks
Thanks

JEEZ!! I start a group buy on these and it BARELY got any response.....I would get that grill over any grill as the other ones look really cheap. Just DONT get it from Lorinser as I believe it is like 2K. Call Ben at Evosport.

Yeah I know that the 2nd grill is quite different from the top one. Its just that the 2nd grill is much cheaper and doesn't require a bonnet change like the Lorinser - which costs $4500. The bottom grill is $695.
Do U think the 2nd grill would look just as good?

My friend the 2nd grill you can prolly get on Ebay for US$150-250! The top grill they sell just as the grill alone w/NO hood change for like US$650. Email ben@evosport.com for accurate prices and shipping.

Get the second one..thats what I did!!!..it fits fine and the quality is very good. I forgot who makes it but it is made in Germany..at least the one I got was. Can't see spending the extra 450 for the other one...save that $ for another mod...
By the way LorinserCClass why do you campaign so hard for evosport? you tout this place in every thread, 2x in this one ALONE! and on other boards
One would think you get some kind of kick back the way your all over this guy Ben's cack

maybe i'm missing something here but I went to go look at a pic of my c coupe grill and i dont see a dramatic diff btwn these pics and mine to justify spending any amount of money, just IMO.

Common... You know the first one look 100x better than the 2nd one. But the cost for the first one is only 3x the 2nd one. And by the way, if u think LorinserCClass is doing a campaign so hard to evosport, he is.... cuz he want everyone's car to look nice! Also, I hope they banned the 2nd grill

he's got them on his car and can get it for you for a good deal.
you might hear all this crap that he won't deliver and what not, but this guy is my cousin. he has the entire buisness and is running it alone.. he might be busy and you should understand that, but he WILL deliver his product, he's not out to steal he's out to sell.

I dont get sheit from ben or discount prices. IN FACT I get 95% of my stuff for MY good discount from a shop in NoHo. I ALSO mention Steve a lot but I dont get anything from him EITHER! I came on this forums to LEARN and find out where to attain mods and what is the BEST price. Ive been here for about a year and I FEEL I can give out advice and shops names w/good prices in CONFIDENCE. I HONESTLY just want everyones MB too look bad *** at equal or less than what I spent as Ive bought some things at above retail. Thnx turtle!
AND the coupe grill looks nice on the coupe only....seems to be seems proportionate to the coupe NOT the sedan.

I agree that the coupe grill does not look right on the sedan, BUT we are talking about the grill in the picture below, and it is clearly NOT the coupe grill...right????
This one does look proportional once its on the car

Hi,
the bulbs are just generic ones I get from Ebay and I find that color temp from 4500k to 5000k is to my liking (I meant 5000 kelvin sorry). Thats the color temp of the bulbs. I used to get 4500k Plasma Industries bulbs on my audi and had them transferred to my c230k (both uses H7 primarily). They lasted almost 2 yrs on my audi (sold the car) then about 6 months until one burned out in the coupe. I havent been able to find where to buy them again so just got generic ones on Ebay (4-5 months no problems so far). I was going to get Xenons but w/o bi-xenon housing there's not much point IMO.
