Just tinkering around....
Thanks for the thread on the arrow side mirrors, it really makes the car more aggressive looking.
The grill emblem is needing to be changed on this grill, it's pretty cheap, if i can't switch it out, this is coming off. It's the first gap free 1 fin grill but the star emblem is hideous in person.

Omg in love. Can I ask where abouts did you get that grill as I have the 1 fin grill but I can't stand the gap between the hood and top part of the grill..
Also were the side mirrors easy to install and where abouts did you get the hood from. The car looks perfect.

It's the cheapest w209 grill on eBay., the grill material is good but the center star is terrible. I am going to retrofit the stock emblem assembly from a beater grill I had at home. If that doesn't work, than I'm going back to stock. As for the side mirrors, it's pretty easy, just a little nerve wrecking @ times. I've had to revise the installation, so after the first timis when you've done it once is super easy. Hood is a one-off, and a revision to the hood is currently being made.

Do you have the user ID of the seller... I could maybe remove the star from my other 1 fin grill and put it on this one ... As for the side mirrors is it something you can fit your own or should I go take it to a merc workshop...only thing that's concerning me if there's any wiring and my mirrors are the folding mirrors so will it still work ok or is it just a cover that clips on.

Thanks, I thought about going the route of cf side mirrors but it's all about continuity of design for me. That means going the route of a cf grill and importantly dark wheels, exactly the design scheme that you have. Great jobs with keeping the overall flow of your car intact.

Is that hood revision going to be available for sale?
