Most of people use a facelift OEM grill. Your best bet is to buy an used one from members here or on ebay.

^ That will be gold if it is a direct fitment for pre-facelift. I'd love to hear if anyone has tried it and whether or not it works. If not I can see myself taking the plunge.

I noticed it doesn't have the top piece to the grille but I assume they just want you to use your existing one. It also seems like there is enough emphasis on not fitting on non-AMG models.

Seems legit

The facelift grille fits a pre-facelift model? I thought it was completely different for 2012+??

The facelift grill will fit our pre-facelift model but you will need to modify the lower tabs a bit... and the fitment if far from being perfectly flush. You will get gaps on each side of the grill near the headlights.

Here are pics of my CF facelift grill:

I've done extensive research on this. There are no single-fin aftermarket grills that will fit pre-facelift C63s. The best, but imperfect option is to modify the OEM grill. You will have gaps. I gave up on this idea.

Just like in the Richmond area of Vancouver. Couldn't believe what people are fetching when they sell to developers.

And I'm also not buying anything from Australia, its 200 bucks to ship the USA.

I spoke to 55tech a while back and they didn't have any that fit the C63. this must be a new product. any guinea pigs here?
