I have always liked the luxury style MB grill and decided to give it a try on my Sport model. I picked up a luxury grill and hood ornament on Ebay and installed this morning.
I have to say I am suprisingly underwhelmed with the look....I have never been the biggest fan of the giant sport grill star but can better appreciate the look much more now....just wish the star was a little bit smaller....
I already took the upright star off as that is a no go with either grill but I am debating leaving the luxury grill on for a few days to see if it grows on me.

Has anyone that has done the sport for luxury swap have the same experience and did it take a few days to warm up to the completly different look, if ever??

get the sl style grill... has smaller star

i hate the lux grill..thats prob not what you wanted to hear though. lol

Get the Bullit grill

Krytech has switched to the elegance grill.

I took advantage of the warm weather and detailed/waxed today after the grill swap. Drove around a bit and stopped by to see a few friends. The style still wasn't growing on me and I didn't get much positive response from a few people I asked.
Anyhow, I switched back to the sport gril with one improvement. When my grill was installed at the factory, they apparently tightened the T-Bar support to have the grill as forward as possible. I reinstalled with the grill sitting about 1/2 inch further rearward and it actually matches up a bit better.
The sport grill will do for now but I will keep my eyes open for a nice SL style grill.

I have the lux grille and stand up star. I like mine a lot, but I also painted my grille to match the body colour.

The problem with the Lux grill is that it only looks GREAT in some angles and horrible in others. Painting it to colors like black or body color does help somewhat but leaving the chrome on does not match the overall front bumper design.

Find a pic of German Anger's car. To me, that seems to be the only sport that looks good with the lux grille.

i have a c63 grill if youre interested

Are you talking about a C63 replica? I am pretty sure the actual C63 grills wont fit the 300/350.

no the actual c63 grill will fit but with a minor gap...https://mbworld.org/forums/2612888-post30.html
