CLK grill conversion questions

Has anyone done the conversion from C55 to CLK grill with the large star that could lend me some advice?

1. If I buy a used CLK grill will I also have to buy another bracket and another hood latch as I've been told in the past? If so, where is the best place to get these items?

2. If I sell my factory C55 grill to someone who has a CLK, would they need anything more than just the grill, or would they need my hood latch, etc?

3. Is there a good aftermarket company that has the conversion grill that will bolt right into the spot of my factory grill with no mods? I see these on ebay, but I don't know if they are actually what I'm looking for or not...maybe the seller actually has a c230 conversion grill which obviously wouldn't work with my c55...just don't know for sure.

Anyway, all help would be greatly apprecitated!

Thanks, but I was sort of looking for individual experiences.
