Question Anyone replace their grill with the sport grill with big star?
I see these listed on ebay for under $200 and found out it's not a MB part but wondering if anyone has switched theirs and how's the quality?

I found what I was looking for by a PM. Not so much looking at who did it but the quality from those sold online. Found what I was looking for.

I'll let you know how the 55tech ones from ebay are. I'm ordering mine tomorrow. I decided on the newer 3 slat design.

I got the factory grill and had the chrome parts painted to match the car.

Please do let us know what you think of the 55tech grill quality and fit, I'm considering the same thing.

To each his own, personally I like it. A Clown?? Pray tell, how in the world does that look like a clown? John Wayne Gacy clown or Bozo clown. I think it looks good and classy.

im guessing i feel that way b/c the HUGE mercedes logo on the grille looks like a HUGE nose of a clown. I'm not bashing it... i personally just like OEM grille (but the factory grille with the MB logo on the front does look way better than the ebay/ so called after market ones)

Anyone who has readily available a clown photo??? Man, can you say scarey????



I still don't see how it makes teh Bezn look like a clown, its not bulbous. Perhaps a clown nose looks like the shift knob of a Mitsub evolution!!!
