aftermarket grille selections

well, w204 is new, but aftermarket people don't stand around in taiwan. they'll eventually became available in the states.

here are few that I found on bid.yahoo.com.tw. I'm thinking about having my friend picking up the first one when he goes back to taiwan later this year or if I have chance to go back this year. maybe if the third one has the AMG kit it would look good too.

C63 style $8000 NTD roughly $270 USD


C63 style silver mesh $8000 NTD


CL63 style $7200 NTD roughly $240 USD


stock C63 grille also works btw, but it is pricey at $22,500 NTD which is around $750 USD.

If you want a black painted grill Do It Yourself saves money but you have to be careful and know what you are doing as well.

Except for the unsightly gap at the top.

Anyway, I really like the one with the two chrome bars. The first one looks like a good option for those wanting a C63 look-a-like. Both are nice.

I want:



without the corny foglight trim on the side, and





together. Nice.

Except the lower chrome bar seems to be made for a different bumper. What is that... that's not W204, is it? If so, which bumper?

yea, I notice that too. but that's how the C63 looks too.

narky, the chrome bars are for the luxury models i believe.

I do see Carlsson has the lower mesh grilles in stainless mesh tho. replaces the plastic.

The problem with C63 style grill is a bit higher than stock one.
You have to put down the enging cover harder.
I know because that's my car, I used it for temp, I am doing some big project right now.

I like the first two ones. The emblem on the other ones look off centered top to bottom (too much space above the emblem).

I'm wondering if the slatted lower grill is available for the sport models.

That's my car in the picture,
I know the seller so I tried his grill and took the picture for him.
If you guys want it I can talk to the seller to ship it to US.
If there are enough orders I might get you some discount.

But this is for luxury model, I don't think you can put on sport bumper straight on.
And of course I can get you one but I am not sure about fitment.
