single fin grille
Hello all,

Has anyone installed the single fin grille on their R230? See ebay link below:

If so, the posting of pictures would be much appreciated!

Thanks.

Anyone know if this grill would fit a MY08? I thought the 07 and 08 would be the same ... but the website states it will fit only up to MY07 ... I feel shafted ... a great looking mod and quality of product looks OEM.

Looks good and that it fits well. LOL anything all black will work with AMGFans SL!

I need to use my imagination too if the chrome/silver one would look ok.
