single fin grill PS

Hi There,

I turned to the darkside (BMW) and have returned to the light

I've just bought a CLK 240 (2003). Its stock standard apart from 18 inch Brabus wheels. I'll be picking it up next week, deposits already paid.

I want to change the grill, possibly to a single fin. I've searched through the forums and can't find a non-AMG body kit CLK with the single fin grill.

Could I request that someone possibly photoshop a single grill fin onto a stock CLK or post pics of one? A silver CLK would be nice.

Thanks in advance

The grill won't be the first mod though... The first owner decided to put "V6 Kompressor" and "Brabus" badges on the side and a "CLK 320" badge on the back. So those will be the first to go. If I hadn't bought it from a dealer I would have had to sit that man down and have a serious chat with him...

Hey,
I know this is off topic, but I'm planning on buying angel eyes for my dads E39 5 series. I'm pimping his car a little bit. He has standard xenon headlights and all that...
Could you link me to to an ebay auction where I can buy the angel eyes complete with everything I need? Bulbs, ballasts etc
Thanks

Cheers Dyno.

Mikata - Sorry I'm not sure, does it have the facelift headlights with stock angel eyes? If so its as easy as literally screwing in a bulb.

It's the pre-facelifted model so it doesn't have stock angel eyes.
Im thinking of buying the whole complete headlight.
I'll PM you. I don't wanna **** of any of the dudes here by talking about bimmers when this is a benzito forum

This is the style that most of us have, with the slat/gap on the top. Klinh just bought one that fits snug up against the hood, aka, no gap. A member posted the link before but I can't find it now.

I'm sure Klinh will be more than happy to information share and link us all to the site where he bought his.

Angel eyes questions see DDM tuning. That's where I got my headlights for the two M's I had, they were pretty *******.

I had originally bought a set from Umnitza, but found the ebay ones were better and a third of the price.

Damn, its oging to be another week until I can pick up my car... Apparently the entire gearbox needs to be replaced. Is this a common problem with W209's?
