Another Frontgrill ?

Hey, have you already seen this type of grill ? Seems bigger than the ones from MH and others, more the style of a CL

I actually think it may be slightly smaller, and doesn't seem to look right (even with the star put in). I think it looks bigger because of the angle it was shot at.

Definitely larger than the Shatz grill. I'm not sure about the MH-Dezent grill, they look too different to me. I should have pictures of the full MH-Dezent DTM kit, CL hood & grill, and Quad Exhaust on my car by the end of this month.

I ordered this grill from DJH-Chromline and ended up getting the shatz grill with the small star. I attempted to contact the company to return the grill and never got an answer from them. Since then, they have updated there website with a picture of the shatz grill.DJH-Chromline

the hood on the black MAE CLK is the MH-Dezent hood with the normal grill rather then the CL one.

I like the smaller star in the grill. Makes the car appear cleaner looking.
