Replacement for E550 Coupe Grille
Hey All,
I just got in a minor fender bender and ruined by grille. I need to replace it. Anyone know a good place to get a nice replacement, maybe something that looks different/better than the original. If I am going to have to shell out cash to replace it, might as well see if I can't replace it with something better. Or at least find somewhere on line with reasonable prices (I'm sure a body shop will charge way too much).
Thanks for any help or ideas.

They're the single bar grills from 55tech a few on here including me have got them on our coupe/cabrios, how badly damaged is your grill - is the upper section on the bonnet damaged or just the lower part that sits in the bumper?

there's a chrome trim that makes up the upper part of the grill, that bit. Some places online or on ebay sell chrome single bar grills that are just the lower section and they're usually a little cheaper

Thank you for the info and suggestion. Do you have any pictures of your car with the new grille in it? I saw the pictures on 55tech, but would love to see what they actually look like installed.
Thanks.
Thanks.
