I am hoping somebody may be able to give me some advice as to a grille that I should purchase. I currently own the grille being sold by 55tech on ebay:

But I have decided that I am not happy with the looks of the grille. Has anyone seen or installed a grille similar to the 2012 model? Primarily looking to get rid of the chrome surround because I just dont like the way it looks, and I also like the curved silver portion behind the chrome strips (on the grille I purchased they are black and go straight back and make it look cheap IMO) Here is the look that I ultimately want to get:

Thanks in advance for ANY advice!

The 2012 model grille sedan has 3 strips with chrome edging. It is available in black or silver. I dont know if it will fit a pre face lift 204. When replacing my 2012 grill I had to look for 2011 and later face lift style grilles. Although Im not sure if it is a difference in mounting or fit?

This is a OEM 2012 sedan replacement look in black

and this is the same in silver

Thanks for the quick reply. The coupe grille is exactly what I am looking for but silver instead of black, and optimally I would like to buy OEM if it could somewhat easilly be retrofitted to my car. For some reason I really do not like the 3 stripe version because IMO it looks bulky and the bars seem too randomly spaced. I really like how clean the coupe grille looks even compared to my current grille which is the same bar spacing, but I don't like the chrome outer surrounding.

Hi all,

I know it's been a while, but I was wondering how the quality is on these. Can anyone comment on the fit, finish, etc? I have a 2013 with a silver OEM grille, and I don't like it. I painted it, but it just doesn't look as good as the OEM gloss black.

Thanks!
