Black grille from which supplier is good?

I'm looking to buy a black grille for my W204. Did a search on ebay and there are so many sellers! Wondering which one is of better quality and 'perfect' fitment..

Has anyone bought theirs from ebay? Any good sellers to recommend?

I'm looking for a black/chrome type like this one:



Thanks in advance!

Best fitment = OEM dealership or someone selling on Ebay, and its an OEM grill. I noticed the one you showed is a CL63 style one, there are c63 style grills for w204 but the fitments are a bit wonky, they look way too big... but thats just my feel...

Check out the grille you are asking. I have it on my car.

Fitment is great. Just take a bit to get the grille in properly..

Nice grille and car!

Is yours the C63 style or CL63 style? Which ebay seller did you bought it from?

I believe its the CL63 style. Its from Redline Sport. Fitment is great. Just watch out for the T-Bar. Took me a bit to figure out how to get around it since I could not take my T-Bar off. Lots of scratches on my Knuckle but well worth it

Thanks for the info! Is there a DIY on this thing?

who8888, how much did you paid for yours?

BTW, anyone has a picture comparison between the CL63 and C63 grille? I've been looking at ebay and they all look the same!

There are threads out there saying how to get the OEM grille off the car. Not much DIY since its only couple of steps and it really depends on the grille you get. If you do end up getting the same grille as me, PM me if you get stuck.

The price I paid was the listed price on Ebay(don't pay the buy it now price) unless you can not wait . I liked the bonus of an added hood and trunk emblem (Although I did not get mine with my shipment ) I am getting it as seperate shipment.

Have fun choosing your grille..
