Cool grille/scratch installed

I finally got my grille installed; I picked it up before I picked up the car

oh and 1 pic of the first scratch that got installed in the parking lot by one of the service techssmash:

Love the car in red. I've got a C63 grille on order, but I haven't been able to get a hold of the screws, are these the part numbers you ordered?

C63 Front Grille:
204 880 10 83

Upper portion of Grille:
A204 880 09 83

Plugs:
A000 998 33 85 x6

Screws:
N000000000888 x6

On a side note: My car was also scratched by a service tech when I brought it in, I didn't realize it until after the fact, but I'm just amazed at how inconsiderate/inept the tech(s) are at my local MB dealership. When I put my new wheels on, they transferred my TMPS over and they ended up over tightening one of them causing it to break off and roll around inside the wheel.

Looks nice! I like the color. Clear markers are looking good too.

Congrats on the car!

I don't think the OE C63 grille fits the regular C Class. You can order a replica off of numerous sites or ebay though.

It will fit but there will be a gap where the top and bottom meet. It appears to be about 3/4" space between. If you can live with that- I'm sure the quality is MUCH better than the grille I have. I think I might have to order one too.

But on some way on that pictures, something isnt right.... think i like the replica for the non AMG looks better.

Never had problems with the replica grille, but now after the winter my chrome is bubbling and i can pull it off. So i think i will paint the whole grille black.
