looks promising, it even has the Distronic-styled domed emblem.

Car Shine in Australia has a lot of aftermarket parts for the W204 (many from Schaetz), but unfortunately they do not ship to the U.S.

yeah, i like the SL style grill on the SL because the opening isnt very tall, on the w204 its much taller so a single bar looks awkward

I agree with Arjy, it looks a little awkward on the car.
The black plastic looks cheap (especially just above and below the emblem), and without a chrome frame it looks unfinished.

The single bar emphasizes how large the grille and emblem are, which makes it look like the previous generation ML, which is not a great look on the C.

That's exactly what I was thinking.
Please don't post links to this grille again. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little. Although it might look good with some stick on Lucerne vents.

Sorry those are just nasty IMHO. Just saw the pic of the SL one on a car and I don't like it. The fake Distronic really makes me dislike it (I hadn't noticed it in the first pic).

Not feeling the grilles but I've seen the lower mesh portion on another members car and remember liking it on his.

Anyone find the C63 grille in the two-piece? All I can find is the one-piece, which I've read is hard to install and may have problems... The ones I found on eBay look cheap.

I have the one-piece C63 grill and it was easy to install...didn't have to un screw or remove anything but the stock grill. Push in, pull up the old grill...push down and pull the new grill into place...took 15 mins.

The C63 replica grills on EBay look terrible

It will fit, but it looks like ***. You'll have a rather large gap between the top and bottom portion due to different size grille gap between the c63 and non-amg 204s.

If the lower grille is metal, I don't think spraying it black would be bad.
