DTM style Grille

Seeing these trending in latest AMG styling language got me thinking...

A quick photoshop makes me think this would look pretty sweet

What do YOU think?

Wow. You beat me to it. I have been thinking about this all night. I was planning on photoshoping this when I sat down at my computer.
That GLC63 coupe is my new favorite thing. When my lease is up I am going to need one.

I wouldn't be surprised if the facelift c63 comes with this grille.

I like it but see a lot of hate towards it on the internet.

Love the GLC 63, btw.

I thought Buick but Volvo is more fitting. Of course, some don't like my diamond grill.

I still like it a whole lot, but it just struck me where I've seen this grille before. . .


... every BMW in the past 15 years.
I feel lost.

yea, but at least your car doesn't have an orthodontist appointment next week
but in all seriousness, it's a matter of personal taste.

I don't like it on the GTR, so I know I wouldn't like it on a C. IMO, the GTS looks much nicer than the GTR.

Anyone have a broken grill laying around they can send me so I can properly dimension/detail this?

A friend of mine has a commercial 3D printer

This image made me think of the fun he could have with it

He has duplicated a plastic part he uses on one of his pieces of equipment that previously he needed to purchase for $900.00 from the manufacturer

What do YOU think?

Indav Design came out with this C63 black series render. Im very interested in contacting them and seeing if theres a way I can get them to create the front bumper for my C43 coupe. Just to make things interesting is there anyway you can photoshop that beautiful grill on their render? If I like the look I may pursue getting the grill as well.

What are you using to model this? Inventor?

Does anyone know if this grille style will be exclusive to AMG moving forward or something that is going to be on all cars?

I'm assuming it will only be on the top models for some time and then work it's way down the line when they've come up with some new design.

The diamond pin grille was used elsewhere before seeing it on nearly everything.

This new front end design really gets my goat. This will be my next car. SOO GOOD
