what do you guys think of the single fin style on our w209's??

i once saw a thread of someone who wrapped the fins in black 3M CF (cant find that thread anymore...dyno? klinh?)

i have a black clk..slowly going for the black out theme (just painted my corner markers OEM black). next gonna vinyl out the chrome.

A few guys here have that grille (Klinh, Andy..). The silver car in the link you posted looks like it's Klinh's car.

That has to be klinh's car cause that's what I was thinking...but I wish there was an all black grill with just the star chrome...

Could always paint or wrap it but that includes labor...haha!...

Damn that looks sweet

I swear though there was a thread a while back not sure if it was a clk or not now that I think about it...


But it had this sl grill wrapped in cf wrap

Sound familiar to anyone?

Also...

Any problems with the sl star leaving a little gap in the mesh or does it fit flush?

midnight AMG

this is the blackened theme im going for..

Newjd2

Hmmm see that looks sick but I wonder how it'll look on my car...just think my chrome grille throws it off a bit...

Was that a diy grille?...


Angelo

midnight AMG

painted black everything..not sure if it was DIY

Midnight AMG,

The Silver Clk 500 Cabriolet is mine car. To be honest with you, I like the style but the upper gap of the grill really annoying me from day one. I thought about re-mesh it by using mine lower bumper center mesh and bent it to the shape of the grill and use epoxy to bond the mesh to the grill. The lower bumper center mesh is very very easy to bent shape it any way you want.

I know what you mean about that GAP.

my friend has the SL grill on his CLK...its like that piece of spinach stuck in the back your teeth

the link that i posted...do those have this gap too btw?

i was hoping i found a gapless SL grill for the CLk....

midnight AMG

hey guys..

i found it!!! this is the single fin wrapped in CF

Klinh

The gap I were talking about is mine car. If they make it gapless like the factory Mercedes SL grill, then they might get sue by Mercedes. Remember some of the replica wheels with AMG logos imprinted on the spoke and got sue by Mercedes for trademark.

klinh:

whats your opinion of my last post?

the single slat in CF on a black clk 550?

Klinh

The CF look is very nice. Just try the CF look and if you don't like it, you can alway peel it off and go back to chrome. I kindna like the distronic cruise control star look too.

is this the distronic cruise control star?

im gotta find this seperately..obviously without the function though

Klinh

Yes. I think you can ask the seller to give you the distronic star style. My star came seperate (not install) and I used double side tape to hold it.

Jumping in late here but there is a bit of a time difference... I also bought the same SL style grille off eBay, a seller in Canada, got it for $160CAD shipped.

Anybody knows, who's car is this? Love it!

kostas86

That grill is awesome, have seen the car in person and looks amazing.

is it possible that this one is gapless??

Klinh

Don't know but I can tell you that the mesh design are different then mine.

Kevwood

It is possible as they clearly mention "Good Stuff" and we all know that "Good Stuff" is gapless. There is no way that they would lie about something like that, no way at all.

midnight AMG

Its hard to tell though...because just LOOK at the picture. It looks seemless/gapless

The other ones online look doctored with additional mesh/glue in the back

Theres no way to try to contaac the seller btw. He has no email addy
