Different SL Grilles
Hey Guys,
I was wondering how the grille options play out on the SLs.
I have a 2003 500, the grille is grey (plastic) with the 3D star... I've noticed on some cars that the grill may be black with chrome and a flat emblem...
Is this a change over the years? or possibly the series (55, 600, etc)?
Thanks!
Mike

The other cars have the same grills with no chrome and a different finish but the same shape.
As Carlos says, it has been this way since 2003 and hasn't changed.
