CL55 Project, Grill Upgrade, before and after! (SL63)

Hey everyone, starting to black out my new Cl55, and I started my mods by replacing the grill with the new style, single fin SL63 grill. I took some before and after pictures so you can see how dramatically it changes the car!

Looks great congrats on starting on your mods. I will also be starting to put all my exterior mods on this coming spring. Nice Grille.

If you are going with all black look you can also do the headlight housing in flat or gloss black. I think that would really change up the front end. look up AMGFAN on here he has some great blacked out MB cars.

What brand grill did you go with? The Ebay version?

bought mine off of a seller on ebay, 55Tech was the seller's name I believe. There are some fitment issues with the release latch that is supplied with the aftermarket grill.

I heard about fitment issues from Jhouse before but had hoped they fixed them by now.

I like your version of this grille with a more linear/straight bar. Do you have an ebay auction no.?

How easy is it to remove and replace the grille?? I just ordered one and should be getting it in the next day or so. Do you have step by step instructions?
