SL Grille for an 01 E430

Hi All,

I was looking to replace my grille and found a few on Ebay. They all look the same but the price vaires quite a bit. It is reall difficult to tell if the product is cheap by just looking at the pics. Here are the three products I found, can anyone tell me which one to buy:


1) This one is $85.00:

2) This one is $225.00

3) This one is $185.00:

Thanks in advance.

I would not buy one of those.
There too big and they make the car look funny.

Better to paint your existing grill and put on a flat badge.

I concur, it makes the already flat looking front even more so, not for me for shure.

A number of things I found weird about the ads:

No.1: The guy stole a lot of pics from Schatz (which is a good brand for these if you really want it) but all the grills pictured are for the 96-99 models....

No.2: The grill doesn't have a frame, looks like it is a real CL or CLK one.

No.3: The last one looks like its the right one.

Typically these things don't come with the star which you have to buy from a stealer - all of them have it included, so that's kinda weird too.
