This type of grill for S63 bumper?
Just curious if anyone knows if this type of grill is available for the new, 2010 style S63 bumper (more pointy/arrow shaped)

This is my car, but I want to do the 2010 s63 front bumper change, but hate the stock grill.

For the 2010 bumper change, wont you run into a wiring problem with the LED, daytime running lights? The 2010 and 2007 wiring harnesses are not the same, i believe... The LEDs might not function properly...

You need to change resistors and wattage. Im not too worried about having specific switches for the DRL's since I plan to have them on whenever the car is on. Just use a relay to live wire and run power to battery

Gotcha. Sounds good. Thought you wanted the full functionality like the '10 (DRL and low illumination when headlights on). Should work to just wire on at all times. Post pics of project. Should look great.

Or an ML, or a C-Class.

Not a big fan, especially leaving the star ornament on. Over the years I've learned to trust the MB design department's decisions rather than the end users'.
