Don't know if the coupe grille will fit or not. However the single bar amg grills are out. Got mine in gloss black from taobao in China. Seen them on ebay too for approx 175 usd. Fitment is pretty much OEM and the grille is super easy to install, took me 30 secs to take off once I knew how to do it.

blue00r6: That grille has the 2008-2011 fish-scale mesh pattern (matches the lower bumper mesh).
The one that J_ has features the 2012 wide diamond mesh pattern.

I'm sitting the fence on this grill for my car, as I have a silver car, but I would like to do something different to the front of my car.
I'm afraid the gap between the top of the the aftermarket grill and the hood would look very noticable on a light colored car.
Haven't seen one on a silver or white car yet.

ya the gap is about the size of my pinky. Even in my OEM grille it's the same, pretty noticeable for a benz... Are the north american models not like this? I don't know why the gap's so big on OEM here

no clue how the distronic star fits but this one is held on by 3 really cheap clips which are glued in place. Mine was only glued on the top and was kinda loose so I had to super glue the bottom 2 and now it's super tight.

We need more 2012-2013 specific aftermarket grills!!! Every time I see something I like, it's usually for a pre-2012 model, and the description says "may not fit....blah blah....". I think there are currently 2 or so grills that are specifically for 2012/2013 models, and say "perfect fit". Am I missing something? I just ordered some black bumper paint and only spent about $13. I will continue my research until I commit to painting the grill.
I want that "perfect fit" if I do another grill all together.
Here's an example....
http://www.55tech.com/collections/w2...g-style-grille
They are very specific about the fact that it perfectly fits 2012 and 2013 models only, but the mesh is glossy, and the oem mesh is matte.
Also, I LOVE this grill...

BUT, the description includes back to a 2008. There's apparently fitment issue/change that occurred when the 2012 models came out.
So my conclusion is: 2011 and earlier fit one way, and 2012/2013 have a different (albeit very slight) design.

These should work on non/coupes/AMG's
Well they claim so anyways..

I just ordered this one yesterday for my car it was $ 180 with shipping. Ill post results when I get it and install. This is the best price I could find and it is for the 2011 newer face lift models, to get a good fit on the face life models you need the grill that has a 1 piece frame from what I was told. This vendor also has the chrome star and bar with black frame
