go on ebay, get a vin # from a 2007 with distronic.. tell your parts advisor you need the grill for the vin # from the 07.

Whats the difference between the 03 and on from the SL550? Just curious

meegle

Four fins across for 03-06 and three for the 07.

johnny5

hahaha.....damn I didnt even notice that this whole time. This sucks now that I know its making me wanting to do it now!!

Thanks for the clarifications Meegle

It is chromed too.
I was told the 50th Anniversary grille is different too, different from the normal 07 one. I know one or two people have that 50th edition SL here, what does the grille look like?

meegle

Here is a picture of a standard 07 SL550 grille with the front edge being chromed. The 07 SL55 is blackened.

johnny5

When you stated that the grilles are chrome are you talking about the whole thing is chrome or just the emblem?

Curious does anyone have the 50th anniversary edition? What does that look like?

johnny5

Meegle....how do you keep your car so clean? Is the whole grille area chrome?

meegle

Here is a better picture of the grille. We rarely use our car and never drive it in the rain which is probably why it stay cleans.

mjr24

The SL55 are chromed too.

On another note....anyone notice the site running really slow lately?

meegle

I saw an 07 SL55 at the dealer yesterday and it had the black grille. Not sure if it was a dealer add-on as I didn't look at the sticker.

Yes, this site has been running pretty slow.

johnny5

Okay now I see it. It does make a big difference now that I think about it. Anyone find out how much these run?

johnny5

I was told they were black?? I could be wrong though. Ill probably swing by the dealer tomorrow for the hell of it before going into work.


Oh and yes the site is running extremely slow!

Bought a 07 grille last week. $450.00. Black with chrome trim. Quoted price of 3000.00 for front bumper mounted and painted to match car. Bumper had side vents that look really sharp. Any thoughts?

meegle

I believe the side vents only come with the 030 pkg or SL65's. They look sharp in comparison to the stock SL550/55/600 front.

johnny5

I really like the SL65 side vents on the bumper but would not pay $3000 for it. Thats just me though. But it does look sick!

nknauz

07 with chrome tips. 230 880 14 83 Retail $440.00

Will not directly work with 03-06. Might need new bumper, I am researching for a customer at the moment.

johnny5

Seriously?? Its not a straight bolt on?

okc329

I think i saw something about the hood on the '07's being reshaped to meet some new European pedestrian safety law. That may have required a differently shaped grill.

BMS

I put the 07 grille in my 04 sl55. It took 3 minutes. Bolted right up.

meegle

SL550/600- Chromed outer edge with silver/gray fins.

SL55- Chromed outer edge with black fins.

mjr24

Highly doubtful.....unless you rigged it in poorly. It was my car that nknauz is trying to get the 07 grille on. It won't fit. The bumper is considerably different where the grille goes into. There is no way it "bolted right up."

johnny5

What year is your SL? Im just curious if its all or maybe just the older R230's theres a fitiment issue??
