front grill question

hey guys. i just noticed that the updated model of the CLK has a 3 slat star grill. i looked at mine, it has 4 slats.

so my question is will the updated 07-08 3 slat fit into my 03 without modifications?

Couldn't tell you. If your going to wrap it you could get the reps on eBay for around $100. They aren't bad, the star alone costs $50...

Ok it seems like somone already deleted that thread but I still have some pics on my computer. Taking the chrome pieces out is faily easy..when you take the grill out turn it to the back and all you will have to do is just slide them out one by one (looks at my pics below).
