Bullit style grille is here...
Just wanted to let people know I found a source for a Bullit style grille. It turns out Vath makes a carbon fiber one and sells for 990 euro. They don't have any U.S. distributor but they said you can buy parts direct from them. These pictures were sent to me by Vath, but unfortunatley the pictures do not show the detail of the carbon fiber, so I can't really see the weave pattern.

I loved the Brabus Bullit when I first saw pictures of it, and have been in search of a grille like it since. You know I think on a stock C, maybe the grille does not quite fit and I can see where you are coming from. I think this grille would look great on some of the modded C classes and C63s however.

Looks great. The price is a little steep. I would like to see one made of OEM type plastic, not always CF. Not everybody wants CF. I guess you could paint it, but that would be a waste.

From the side the grill looks terrible.

I'm loving the engine cover though but as usual I'm sure price is outrageous.

Yeah side profile is a turn off. The engine cover is pretty cool though.
Are anyone of you that are interested in CF parts worried about how they are going to wear? A friend put a CF part (I think it was a mirror cover) on his VW a few years ago and it turned colors, had a old yellow look after about a year in the sun.

Vath makes a bad decision putting it on a silver car. I hope that was just their mule.
Palladium Silver, Black, White would look good with the bullit style grille. I don't think it will look that good with any other color.

I don't really think the grille looks that great on THAT silver car I posted, however like I said earlier if the car is tastefully modified, then it is a better fit. From what I remembered, everyone loved the Bullit when it first appeared?

W203 slightly modified
Just a grille on a stock car looks a bit 'deer hunter'.

Yum yum! 
I'm still on the line about this grill. On some days, I think it looks OMG AWESOME, and on others, bleh. It's true though... it might not look so nice on a stock C-class. Love the flat black paint too, but once again, on a stock C... and to get a flat black to look that nice, it'd have to be a true pro, pro job.
Sidenote: Am I the only one that dislikes the Brabus front bumper? I love the Bullit bumper above, but I can't stand the one in the Brabus kit. It think it's the bug-eye quad fogs...
