How to make a facelift grille work on a preface CLS:)
Hi!
I have for a long time struggled to be satisfied with my front radiator grille on my CLS 55. So after a tryout of 4 different grilles, with more or less satisfaction. I tried the one that doen`t fit preface CLS. The 2009 Facelift grille
This is how it will look like if you try fitting it directly to a preface CLS
These grilles are in my collection
What you need:
-A original 2009 facelift grille
-A replica single frame grille that fits 2005-2008
-Cutting and grinding tools
-Plastic glue
This is the grille I want to use for fitment to the preface
And then we have the facelift AMG grille. I was lucky enough to get a damaged facelift grille for little money You don`t need the mountings or upper and lower mesh grilles to do this mod:
Started with grinding away the mount for the mesh on the facelift grille:
Then you cut the mesh away until it looks like this:
This is the single frame grille cutted out to look like this:
Then when you have test fitted and cutted/grinded enough, you can start gluing the facelift grille inside the single frame grille. But glue it in with the single frame grille attached to the car (for correct fitment):
Heres your new facelift grille I got the paintshop to spray a layer of matt clearcoat to the chrome frames before installing it to the car. You get a satin look with this mod.
