Or maybe I'll just retain my grill and eventually use the wire mess for the three lower bumper grills (those are available at some Websites) but right now I've removed the black plastic ones and am repainting them......I've got a posting on this topic with a photo of these grills with the brackets showing.

I can highly recommend a seller named JAKUO on eBay.

Have bought several different-style sport grilles from him in the past (for both W210 and W211), and the quality has always been EXCELLENT.

The one I currently have (pic below) is over 6 months old and still looks brand new.

i didn't notice that chrome trim...OMG DUDE!!! that looks SO BAD. Are you serious? sorry to be so blunt but that is something you put on a 87 corolla not a new E class.
