Can you also consider a group buy of the new W209 grill (incl. necessarily hood latches, replacement instructions etc )
for C55 owners here?

Hate to be the party pooper, but don't be surprised if this post gets deleted. MBWorld moderators do not allow group buys unless they are organized by sponsors.

New CLK grille will look great on the C55!

I am defintely in for the new grill and have posted several comments about it. Less slats = sleeker!

Hopefully, they will not pull now that there's been a sponsor response.

Normally Blake P is correct with his statement. But cntlaw did ask for a sponsor to get get involved. Now, he did it openly in a thread/post instead of a PM/email, but his intend was still the same. Sponsors, in this case, BlackC230Coupe, have always shown to be willing to help the membership.



Please keep the above example in mind if and when you have additional ideas that would be a benefit to all. Our sponsors help make this forum what it is today. Lets support them and help make this board even better.

Thanks

I should have pricing on this soon. I just want to confirm the fit on the C55's. We can probably do this with 10 orders.

If this is for the facelifted CLK grill, I'm interested as well. You probably should cross post this in the W209 forum, because others will probably be interested also.

You are doing a big favor for this group, appreciated indeed .
A bulletin broad is not a perfect channel to communciate, thus, I would
here like to illustrate my expectations for joining the group buy:

1. the grill must be an ORIGINAL MB CLK 2006 facelift grill ie (3 fins star )
2. Guess it should be similar to the exisitng CLK grill, C55 has to replace its hood latch in order to close the hood properly. So the latch and installtion instruction must also be provided.
3. the new grill fitting should be tested first and prefer a photo to show it.
4. Not sure if the new CLK grill has two colors i.e. black and silver? e.g. Brilliant Silver C55 will go with a black CLK grill.
5. Good solid packing for shipping to Hong Kong is required.

Many thanks

Yes, i will definitely do that also once i get the grill to make sure its all good for the C55 guys. I am assuming no modification was done on the 06' CLK to make it fit.

No problem.

Yes the grill will be from the 2006 CLK. 3 slats.

I am waiting to get the grill so i can test fit it on my car to see what the deal will be with the hood latch. I am guessing it will need the same one as the CLK to make it close.

You will see a picture before the group buy is set up.

Yes, the 2006 grill comes in either silver/crome or black/chrome.
