I'm not the producer of the grill and I don't speak german, that's the producer language! I found the grill in internet and I asked to a friend of mine to transalte my request of information in german. I had answer from the producer that is in Austria! I put in the forum all the information and the pictures I received from the producer. They sell it and I wrote the price, if you want it send them a fax asking for shipping in USA. I'm waiting to see pictures of the other grill without frame before to buy one or if you prefer you can buy on line from the english site that sell it....just a bit more expensive. I can't make any group buy because I'm in Italy. What else can I say??? myNAMESterry is only rude and I can't understand what you want from me

Spoke With Gap Last Night - Final Answer Dudes

Even Though Performance Products Does Not Have The Cool Ne Cl Grill And The Cool New Chrome Mirror Covers And The Cool New Chrome Trunk Strip Listed Online ... They Can Get Em All And Sell Em To Us For A Great Price.....


Thats The End Of The Chase Boys...

Now I Just Need To Figure How To Smoke Out My Goddamn Tail Lights And I Will Be Set... Any Body Do A W208 Smoked Tail Kit????????

Now I Truly Believe The 01-02 And Below Clk 430 And Cl 55 With The Right Accessories Looks Better Than The Clk 500.... You Need Black Though With Black/smoked Tails To Cover The Rear Lights As They Are The Only Thing ****now (with The New Grill)*** That Are Not As Cool As The New Clk...

Look At The Chrysler 300 Hemi With Chrome Mirrors.. This New Addition To The Clk Will Look Great With The New Cl Grill... Wow!!!!!!!!!

The price of 800.00$ plus shipping looks me very high!
Car Multimedia ( www.car-multimedia.at/LCD%20...Seite%2020B.htm ) sell exactly the same grill for 395,00 Euros plus shipping (but they don't sell by internet so you need to contact them directly by phone or fax and they speak german). The same grill is sold by mercedespsrformance http://www.mercedesperformance.co.uk...assW208Ext.pdf at 275 Pounds (English money) and they say they can make a discount for group buy while www.formymercedes.com will sell soon a new grill CL stile with big star and without frame for $ 249.00 (see: http://www.formymercedes.com/mb_resu...tegory=Grilles ). There are not images yet of this last grill and I'm waiting to see this grill before to buy one.

I think the best bet is to wait for the CL grille from formymercedes.com. I don't really care for the painted surround on some of the other grilles out there. The grille w/o the painted frame around it looks much smoother and the price is much more reasonable than some of the alternatives.

News: formymercedes.com sell even this new grill! looks similar to the one from Austria. From the picture I don't hunderstand if it is all chromed. The price $ 249.00 looks very good. They say it's a Shatz product but on the site of shatz ( www.schaetz-tuning.de ) there is only the old one. Does anyone as new info about it?
