Panamericana grille mercedes SL?

Trying to find if there is a panamericana grille for R230? Has anyone fitted one from around the world. I may buy one and modify it.

I really don't know how you're gonna do that, if your grills look like this right now

I was thinking for my SL and CLS but couldn't find one. But I don't think will look good anyways.

I have a SL and CLS as well, and I purchased a newer-looking grille for my CLS, but for the SL I am very skeptical. The R230 grille leans back quite a bit compared to the fairly vertical grille you posted a picture of; I don't think there is any way to make that look good.

I personally like the fact that our R230 looks more like a SLR McLaren instead of the AMG GT.

The panamericana 300SLs These new grills are paying homage to had some rake to them as well (not vertical)
I think it could work best with the -08 round headlight r230.




I would try using one of the chrome border ring aftermarket grilles as a shell to gut and add the vertical slats within

That may well look great on the AMG GT, but not so much on the R230. At least not too me.

Não fotografei a produção :Misericórdia:
Comprei os DRL da E250 2012 e recortei o para-choque.
Comprei a Grade da GLA 2017 GT, fui recortando as travessas em ângulo até encaixar

I love your front spoiler that you have on your bumper, can you tell me where you got it?
