New avantgarde grille soon?

Last week-end a pigeon decided to do a touch and go landing exercise on the road just in front of 'T Rex'... After a bang and seeing a pile of feathers flying over the car, I stop soon after with the intent to wash the vehicle, as a feared to see a mess of blood, feathers and guts and other gooey stuff plastered on the front. Going round to the front to see what damages had happened...., nothing at all. Stroke of luck for me then It did break however some tabs on my CF type Avantgarde grille thought and that may need changing in the future.

I tried ordering a CF type grille from MB Specialist and they were on back order. If you find a place (I'll purchase from overseas), let me know.

Yeah same place as I got mine. Good guys and fast shipping too I got a standard Avantgarde grille for my other w202 (C240T) from a place in Germany. I'll get back later after I browse around my invoices
