Reps are most likely not available for the facelift model yet. It took a long time for them to start appearing when the 204 was first introduced now there are dozens of choices. Give it six months or so. But E-bay is going to be the most likely source.

They have "SL" style grille available for our w204's on eBay already. It is very similar to the 2012 c63, (the new 2012 seem to emulate SL design with diffuser and grille and headlights). But otherwise you will have to wait for true replicas.

Yes, I'm looking at the grille you suggested. Can it fit into my Facelift 2012 W204? I have enquire a few vendor and most of them only fit the pre facelift W204.
Hence, if I cannot catch hold of the replica, can I go for the original grille for C63.... Again, can it fit?

Also, from looking it appears that the facelifted W204 C63 also has a chrome strip as part of the grille that attaches to the hood.
I'll be watching this - I don't plan on doing many exterior mods, but this is one of them.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know you had a 2012 model... That is a good question, since they are so new, I really don't know if they changed the grill sizes. I know that pre 2012 (2008-2011) the C63 oem grill did NOT fit in the c350/c300 openings. I would imagine that the 2012's have the same issue. The problem is that the hood is brought a few more inches further out and lower to accommodate for the bigger v8 engine, and the grill opening dimensions changed (it is not has high). Your best bet would probably be to try and see if the pre 2012 c300/c350 grill fits in your 2012. I think it also depends if you have a c250 or c300/c350...
Hence, anyone got any other suggestion or option?

Hence can you confirm your statement? Have you tried to fit the grille before?

let me have a look into my store for the part number.. when the dealer delivered my car, they changed the front grill and gave me the original one.. if that part number is the same as the pre-facelift w204, you got yourself the answer

there you go.. found the part numbers.. now you need someone with the prefacelift model to tell you if they are the same..
Here is the original grill that came with the car.
The part number is
And here is the grill that the dealer changed before delivery.
And i'm assuming the part number is as shown in the box given to me.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but now that there are getting to be more facelifted C's out there (they are all over the place here in the Metro DC area) - I'm wondering if anyone has started modding theirs yet.
I'm personally still wanting to go with a C63 grille when mine gets here. It looks like I'm going to have to go OEM - which I am trying to find out what that costs. Has anyone priced one out yet?
I just really like the single fin look. I just hope that it is compatible with the stock C250 bumper and hood.

As for the P/N, I'm going over to my friends house tomorrow to re-install the OEM grille on the C350, I'll check the box for the P/N and let you know if it matches.

Well damn, that is unfortunate. The part number would be great though.
Who knows, I may lose my mind down the road and do some more exterior mods than I have been planning. Until then - I'll start digging for some of the SL grilles posted in this thread.
I just love the single fin look.
