2012 Front Grille for 2008-2011 model
Hello to all, I just bought a second hand C63, which I'm absolutely loving might I add, and want to do a few bits to it.
One thing that I want to change is the front grille, I want to stick in the new 2012 style 1 fin one.
I'm wondering whether anyone knows where apart from 55tech.com you can get one? Idealistically, would like to get one from a MB dealer if anyone has the part number.

my wife bananas! :D
just checked out the 55tech site.
on this page http://www.55tech.com/index.php?main...roducts_id=472
and on the 4th picture (one with the car) ... it looks like the top part doesnt fit perfectly and the gap is substanially larger there than anywhere else.

Very sure 2012 grill won't fit 2008/11 model. You can do some modification but still not 100% fit. That's why I got a new 2012 grill sitting there and the old grill is still on my car! You need to accept those " no 100% fit" then move forward! ^_^

It would be very hard to modify that grill to work because of the chrome surround ring
I had to mod mine but mine does not have the chrome ring around it which made it easier to trim
Just get the factory grill made for the 2012 C63. No hassles

On this basis, I feel I should probably just buy the cheaper one, if it doesn't fit then just chuck it.

I believe it is as c63fan said, it can be modified to fit, but maybe not 100%. That being said, lyycas car looks sweet.
