i like the second one better. the first one looks like there is a gap between the top part of the grill and the hood. second looks like a better fit

The gap on the second one is actually legit looking. Because on MY2012+ the top of the grille is actually attached to the hood not a part of the grille. I personally like the second one better

Don't really like either. But I don't like chrome so I went with the Brabus Bullet style grill.

?? The MY 2012 grill is the same as the pre facelift .
So the top of the grille is the grille.

Only by the C63 the top is a part of the hood.

You also have a little gap by the sec grille , but that isnt a big issue

I really like the first one, especially on a black car.

I have to agree with Ron jr, both make the car look dated and older rather than clean crisp and modern sorry

I actually prefer the 1st one. but can't decide between chrome and matt black.
My current oem, i black out with matt sticker leaving only the Star & center fin chrome.

I personally like the 2nd one. As nice as the 1 bar is, I tend to like a touch of elegance along with aggression and I feel like the 2 bar does that much butter. But if you want a more aggressive look and don't need or want as much elegance then definitely the 1st one. But thats my 2 cents.

I went with the first one, looks really good with black cars. Much more aggressive.

Single fin looks weird to me on pre facelift. I really like it on 2012 and up models. I would keep your oem grill and paint the slats black like most people do on here so I vote neither

I agree it looks sorta odd on per facelift. Personally I have the Mercedes Black Painted accessories grill with black slats but would love a two bar instead of the three.
