My new grill

So i did a thing, trimmed part of the top where you cant see it, and it fits! Not perfect but only person that can tell is me, and even then i can barely tell!

Were you just wanting to switch things up or was it because they had a black grill to match the murdered out look? Great job getting it to fit though .

Another member here did it a wile back. DOME. He did it in Germany and he also said he had to modify a bit. Nevertheless it looks kinda cool. Kind of a masculine change and it gives the front a menacing look when done in black!

Nice job, more pics!

Besides that little dip in the top middle, everything else seems to sit flush. Also nice garage .

Thanks guys! The part that was trimmed off was the top of the grill! The hood would not close because the grill is too tall. Dont have any pictures of it right now but can take some later!

Thanks. It does look good. The chrome on my grill is starting to peel in 1 of the corners. This is a perfect alternative.

Man that new grill (in black) looks AMAZING!

I wish there was a company that made this grill as a simple aftermarket swap-out. If someone could figure out how to mass-produce grills that look just like the "after" black one on your car, they would sell faster than they could be manufactured.

Can you give some more details?

Where did you get the grill...is it off of a E class or C Luxury?

Where and how did you trim it?

Thanks!

OP, u are lucky to buy a car with the Pietcha led fogs, they are $$ & not easy to install.

As for the grill, Dome did it on his car few years ago.. Very unique! Love the black-out theme on ur car.
