Black Grille

I would like to change my grille to the black one that Brabus used on the new C. This is a pic of it:


Does anyone know where I could get it?

Can't help you on the Brabus grille, but there are some posts on here somewhere of a few that have had their Sport grille professionally painted black. Looked pretty close.

You could get it done by any body shop for a fraction of the price, or if you have the time and patience (and a dust-free garage) you could paint it yourself.

C350-owner has a beautiful Barolo Red with a painted black grille which he had done at a shop:
https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w204/211210-updated-barolo-red-c350-spawtz-edition.html

One of the reasons why I went with Iridium Silver is because the grille already matches the body, though I sometimes wonder if the C63 grille is a direct fit. Hmmm...

Geeze. You guys really have to use jpgs of your vehicles as your signature.

It makes reading these threads more difficult.

Yup, I got rid of the 203. How I wish I could keep it. It's a very nice car. Btw, do you still have the C32 brakes? Do you know whether they would fit on my car?
