Black. Or white for bling.
I KNOW I've seen a CL style grille that had no emblem.. I wish I could find the pic. I think it was on a silver SL, from wheel experts??
Also - this grille

looks 10 times better than this cheap looking one..

no offense, IMHO.

I have only seen black and silver, you may have to ask around for white.
Try for my mercedes and search for some others.

Lionhead, I just got my black cl grill. Did you or the paint shop remove the chrome strips prior to painting or did they tape over them and paint? A couple paint shops I've been to don't want to paint it b/c they think they think (1) the chrome strips may brake during removal; (2) the paint may flake off easily since the grill is made of plastic. I'm going to try a couple more paint shops and may just leave it black. Thanks.

Esq500...the shop just put tape over the chrome strips and the center emblem before paint. It's been over a month now and I just checked the grill and there is no paint chips or peeling. Here is a pic the day I picked up the grill before I installed it.

Looks really great. It immediately reminded me of my 89 560 SL. Exactly where did you purchase it? Cost? Do you have a link? Thanks. Jimbo

I received my sports grill in black (like the one LIONHEAD has). My 211 is a bordeau red color. Here is the question - I plan on painting the top bar red, should I paint all the other bars red or not? I am really confused. Thanks all!!!
