looks nice... that grill would probably only look good on a car that's done like the one in the picture shown... dark stealth look.

300 usd tho... hmmm dunno about that.

The price isn't set in stone, I am sure they're just testing the waters to see how much we are willing to spend on this grill.

I am almost positive there's a swedish member on here with a white W204 who has a grill similar to that one . . Is this grille a rep of something?

Its a Brabus Black Bullit replica:



I send the seller a message about the price, ask him to make a special price for forum members.

He fabbed that himself from an OEM sport grill, came out great. I know many memebers were waiting for a Bullet replica grill to come out, myself included. I would jump on it but I like the way my modded sport grill has come out. The real Bullit grill is also CF this one clearly is not.

2009 C300 Luxury
I'd bite if it didn't have the mesh

Or if it came in silver/chrome like the luxury grille

I worry about this line...

"Modifications may be required to customize the fitment."

Meaning you might have fitment issues.....

That bother me also but it seems to be a generic disclaimer that the seller uses.

That caught my eye as well but right below it he wrote "Easy installation" . .

I wonder if a CF version is coming out soon. I was going to put down some money left on the last k1 grille.

I don’t understand why the vendors like to use some else’s pictures.

X3 and 2012 C coming soon
Finally! I'll wait 'till the price comes down like the CF deck lid spoilers did. I remember the first one was priced around $400.00. (BTW, I know this isn't CF. I was just using that example). There will probably be more from different sellers too (hopefully not fiberglass). I don't think the seller realizes that it won't properly fit the C63. Maybe that's why he added the disclaimer.

I checked a bunch of his auctions for grills and all seem to have a boilerplate disclaimer so thats not really a concern. I would buy if the price was 199.99 instead of 299.99 and 25.00 shipping. Also don't forget it isn't painted just primed so if you go to your local body shop expect to drop about anouther 100.00 on the paint. I'm sure it could be CF wrapped also.

I'd paint it myself. Matte balck of course. I think it's a better option than blacking out the chrome and the star on the OE grille (sorry, but I am not into that look). Disclaimer or not, it won't properly fit a C63. Anyway, good find and I like it.

There's also a chance it is the other way around where it fits the C63 but won't properly fit ours?
I mean, he did put C63 in the title but not C300 or C350...

I sent the guy a message asking to confirm whether it fits the C300/350 or the C63 . .

Well, if they fit it on a C63, I wonder what they thought when the chrome strip on the leading edge of the hood clashed with the look.

I received an email from him this morning with the following response:
Both grilles look different but they do have the similar mountings.
. . Thoughts?

I don't know. I put in a bid for 200.00 and didn't meet the reserve, good luck to him.

Just give it a few weeks and the price will go down.
