Grilles?

What are your favorite grilles for the 94-95s?
I'd like to change it, but am unsure which one to go with.
Pics would be even better!

I use the SL600 grill. Its a little "plasticy" but it looks 10x better than the stock grey one for the 260E. If you decide to get this, or in fact any other that is made of plastic, make sure to secure it down tight or every time you pop/shut the hood it sounds horribly cheap.

That was the grille I was leaning towards, actually. Thanks for the tip! Is there a trick to securing them correctly?

I ended up cutting a small piece of cardboard and that did the trick. Its because sometimes they don't quite fit with the metal clips from the stock setup as the new grill is very slightly thinner and it rattles around if its not secured.

...or at least in my experience

SL600 / Avant Garde always gives a sleek modern look
