Hello everybody,

Has anybody installed this grille on their car? If so, could you send me/post some pics?

Great grill

I just finished installing that grill (1st mod ), great fitment and very easy install. Fast shipping as well. I like it because it has the three big layers, sometimes i wish it just had the star in chrome and the strips in black, but my friends say it looks fine the way it is. Anyways you can see for yourself, as soon as it stops raining ill take a quick shot of it.

Wow! It really looks great. I was dubious before, but with your pic now I have a better idea. I really don't like the other grills with a star out there, but when I saw this one, I really liked it. I still like a lot the stock grille, perhaps I'll order this and swap them every once in a while.

Hey, could you post some pics taken from a side angle where you can see the grille and the side of the car?

Thanks a lot.

Ebay, don't remember the vender's name, but it was the guy that puts the grills on top of the red carpet thing in the pictures.

I like more the one with only three fins, makes the car look better and actual, otherwise I'd stay with stock. I haven't received my new grille yet, can't wait till it gets here.

Hi..Can anyone with pics of their CLK with the new 3 fin grille please post some pics. Would love to see what it looks like...looking for one with a CL class look to it...all chrome to go on my firemist red cabriolet. The pic is a creation of my imagination of what my Benz would look like with that type of grille.

Cool How about the 4 fin?

I have had the same issue!!

I have the CLK Convertible and wanted to change it. Already ordered my AMG (black and chrome) flat emblem so I probably go with black with chrome grill too.

Anyone has done all chrome?? I saw the all silver and didn't like it as much either, but it's a bit confusing with so many choices. 3 fin 4 fin 5?

I will post some pics once I do my mod too.

My car with the 3 fin grille

At last my grille arrived. Sorry for the quality of the pic, I took it with my Blackberry. I'll take some pictures later. I really love how it looks.

More pics with new grille

Hi again, I just took these pics, in broad daylight, where you get a better view of the grille. It fits perfectly, and resembles the new grilles on new MB. I still love the look of the stock grille, but since its such an easy swap, I guess I'll use both depending on the mood...
