Does anyone have the part number for the C55 grill?

Dome///AMG

I hope the numbers are the same as in germany

Chrom-Hoodstripe: A203 880 1183 = 185 Euro
Grill: A203 880 1383 = 240 Euro

I got the prices only in €uro, dont know the dollar price

Thanks Dome!

So what's the difference in those two part numbers? Would I need to order both? A2038801383 comes up as repair kit.

The Grill isnt made of one piece, u have to fit a Chrom-shore on the hood

My search for a C55 grill begins!

Good luck...Keep us posted

Found one from another member. Can't wait to throw it on. Now I need to polish my 'chrome type' wheels. LOL

dynomite05

Cool, how much$$?

Yeah, the guy I bought it from said he sent me the top fin and the nuts to attach it to the hood. Some guys in the C55 forums mentioned that I would need the hood latch. Did you also have to get the C55 hood latch? So are there already holes for the nuts to attach the chrome shore or did you have to do some drilling? Is there anything else I should be wary of? Sorry for all the questions... do you just want to swap cars?

The W209 dont have the holes for the chrom-shore
U have to drill some on ur own, but not to deep or u get out of the top. The hood is double-walled with a bit space between in the front

The second thing u have to do is to cut a piece out of the shore. Or u cant open the hood after installing the shore When u get urs u will see what i mean You have to make space for the hood-unlocker.

The grill ist plug and play, old out and new in

Sounds like a bit of work
