Hey guys. Thought I'd ask this question here. I have enclosed two photos of what I believe to be the hood latch and grille support. I'm pretty sure the grille support is correct, but I'm not so sure on the hood latch. If someone can verify whether or not the hood latch is correct would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hey guys, Ive ordered the CLK55 Grill, Support and latch.
Ive having trouble now that Ive got the latch part. Could someone give me the correct part number for this.
The dealer has sent me one that looks alot different then the c55 one. This new part has no handle and it won't be able to mount the my hood.
Ill get a picture up in a couple mins..
Thanks

Hey Sorry I sent that message from my phone. Here's a picture of what I got.
C55 Latch
And this would be the new "CLK55 latch"
Ive installed the grill and the emblem but I Left out the Middle latch for now.. Whats happening is the new latch is not able to mount.. and the My C55 latch hits the new grill and wont let the hood come all the way down.
Any information would be great.

C55 latch wont work-as long as you have removed the front grill-and the top chrome piece (2 pc grill 
) that latch should work-remember-the flat part points towards you :lol:
that looks dead on to what I have on mine.....

Russel Stevens: "They are only listing a three slat grill and that number is A 209 880 01 23. The center support is A 209 888 00 90, There are two (treenail fastners) A 000 988 87 25, two bolts A 001 990 38 36, hood latch A 209 880 01 64"

Hi all, great guide, ive got a little question or 2.
Ive got my hands on a pre-facelift grille, with 4 slats in it, instead of 3, still fits perfect.
Are the bonnet latch and grille support exactly the same as in this guide? Which part numbers do I need for my grille.
Thank you.

Just throwing this out there. Anyone in the Austin TX or surrounding areas want to trade grills? I have a w209 55 and hate the star in the grill.
