Front Grill Question
I saw a listing on ebay for a CL55 that had a custom and/or more recent looking front grill put on. I think I have seen other people on the forum do this. Was wondering:
1) what part to order to do this
2) how much is it
3) opinions if this looks better than the standard grill for a CL55

Mine flew away on the HIGHWAY same grille. I have no idea how but it was secured right since I was at the 1/2 mile event doing 160MPH with it with no issues, and than one day at 65mph on the highway it flew off and hit my windshield RIP lol I will get another one and go all black with it I think.

Fantastic photos to say the least!
This one convinced me I had to have the Grille. Grille has been ordered.
This one convinced me that I miss the Brabus wheels. I might be selling the stockers before the end of the year.

Does the "Distronic type" work on a car that actually has Distronic? Just wasn't sure if the plastic window area on the ebay part is the same as the OEM piece.

Newer front grille pics...
I just thought I'd post several pics for people who are thinking about this style grille... It was very easy to swap and looks pretty good...especially for the price. Obviously, the first pics is a "before"...
Also, the red Lincoln is my brother's, MooJohn, who does more research and posting on here than I do...he showed the grille to me and I decided to give it a try...he also fixed the cyl7-12 misfire (turned out to be the ignition control transformer) using the board's helpful posts...
