Grill starting to wrinkle
My grill is wrinkling on the outer trim like I’ve seen with a lot of these cars
how are you fixing ? Buy another grill and swap it?
I’m fine with that if I have to ,I work on cars and am comfortable replacing the grill
I haven’t seen many grills for sale that have the same options I have ,is it possible to buy any good grill and only replace the outer chrome trim
thanks guys

You will want a hug or time with a blonde for the $$$ MB wants for it and it doesn’t just jump out and back in there.

The plastic that covers the front of the car is quite the onion. Have fun peeling!
