Single fin grille for R230
Does anyone know if there is an after market single fin grille (09 style) that will fit the 2007-2008 SL550. I purchased one on ebay that was supposed to fit all SLs 2003-2007 but apparently the 2007 SL550 has a different size grille than the 2003-2006 model years.

Single fin grille 55tech silver
This is the silver single fin grill from 55tech on my 2005 SL500. I painted the mesh black myself since it was not offered by the manufacturer.
