No...because (contrary to whatever anyone has said or posted) it will not fit correctly. Wonder if that guy's grille flew off yet.

I am thinking about just putting the 07 bumper on.

In answer to your question, no, my grille hasn't flown off yet. Maybe the new 030 07 Sl55 bumper that was installed after the grill is holding it on. You think maybe, dopey. You know, I've watched you post quite frequently and sometimes you actually sound like you know what you are talking about. Other times your head is where the sun doesn't shine. I saw where you posted that you were a student. I was a student once myself. Long before I became a teacher and a very successful businessman. You showed your ignorance last time we talked and I see nothing has changed. Educate yourself kid and try to spend some time on your studies and less time smarting off. I have had the 07 grille and bumper installed on my SL55 along with the center rear tail light. Maybe if you had tried to get some info you would have been successful also. Yes the bumper has the gills on the side, the same as the SL65. On the SL55 the bumper only comes with the 030 package. I'll tell you once again. Never let your alligator mouth run away with your tweety bird ***.

BMS....thanks, but no thanks on your advice. I have a business that probably rivals your's success wise and you probably have 20-25 years on me too age-wise. How about you just mind your business and tend to your own house. I know I won't be in my mid 40's crying on a message board in 20 years-I'll be on a beach somewhere. I'm honored that you care enough about me that you searched through my old posts though.

Hey billybenz, yeah, sure looks like it with an empty garage huh? It's called real estate and is the reason I can drive a car worth more than every car you have listed in your signature combined while you are a mechanic at the local Jiffy Lube. Keep changing that oil and changing wiper blades for Satish....keep grinding it out my man.

You guys must be hard pressed for money if you rigged that grille on for your customer.

If you have an issue, I can call your shop on Monday and you can talk to me like a big boy, I bet you wouldn't be running your mouth then. I have three friends in the Detroit area who work in journalism and for the papers, news, etc. there. I'd be careful what you say...

I'd be proud of that, you should update your signature. 1 of 1 in the whole entire world, thats amazing. I love Astons, do you have any pictures?
