Does anyone know if the SLS style grill on the website for the w204 can be modified to fit our C63s? I know that a fellow member said that he modified a generic w204 grill to fit his C63. He modified the tabs and I wonder if we just need to modify the tabs on the SLS style grill.

If the SLS type grille (or any other style for that matter) is meant to fit the facelift c63 then it is most likely going to be modding the tabs that's needed. However, if they are meant to fit the non AMG w204's then perhaps there might be more needed as I understand the front end is a little wider on AMG's than regular C class?

Did you place the order from the website or the ebay link where it's a little cheaper? Please post pics after you do the install!

That looks really good....just placed an order myself.

painted and installed today from E55tech. Fitment is very good. Had it plasti dipped in matte black for now and debating is i should paint it gloss black later on. What do you guys think?

Thought I'd post some pics for you guys. Got mine yesterday and installed it.



Fitment is pretty good for an aftermarket part but just a little off in this corner as you can see.



This side is good

Did the new grille come with the upper piece that attaches to the hood? Looks good!

papashango

No it does not come with the upper piece. You just use the stock one. Thank!

For those of you interested, i bought mine from
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/370978322...84.m1439.l2649
Although it says Canada in the eBay, the DHL Package arrived from Taiwan.
The shipping was FAST (2 days to Sydney, Australia)

Fitment took me all of 3 minutes. Literally. Very very easy.

Pics for your reference.
Fitment was excellent.

FYI- for you weight saving guys, factory FPL grille is heavy, compared to this one. So if you are emptying your tissue box, or running your washer fluid dry at the strip, then this grille is for you.

papashango

That's the same one I ordered. The seller is in Canada and it ships from Taiwan.

This doesn't come in matte black does it? You have to paint it or plasti-dip it?

She wanted matte black on her car (white car)

Anyone know where to get a new top piece for the grille?

snowmuch

Got my today and installation took no more than 5 mins as it's the same as my c300

ddcha

have you verified whether the center star is OEM?

Sidv22

am i the only one who is finding it hard to take off the OEM grille?

I've removed my grill 3 times and tried aftermarket stuff (all I didnt like except for the 55tech). Once you remove the two pushpins from the top just start applying pressure to the very bottom center of the grill with both thumbs. Eventually they will give way and you can pull the grill straight out the top.

55tech fits great and looks awesome! I'm debating vinyl'ing or painting it black.

papashango

I found out that when I popped out the side two tabs that are on the middle sides of the grille the bottom one's came out very easily.

ddcha

Put mine on. I originally planned to plastidip the outer chrome keeping the star and the center fin chrome. But I think it looks good as is. Maybe plastidip later. The front nose looks much more aggressive with the single fin and larger star imo. Happy buyer.

Sidv22

Thanks a lot! it was actually easy. i was not doing it right.

ddcha

ah, decided to plastidip it. much better.

AMG893

Damn, i may plastidip mine now, just like you have.

It really makes the star "pop".

I will also be fitting distronic star soon. (Flat star).
I will post pics of that.
Looks awesome IMO

average joe

Looks much better dipped!!!! Nice one
