Distronic parktronic and new grill
I'm looking to replace my grill on my SL65 to an aftermarket single bar grill. is there anything like sensors that are used in the stock grill fir the distronic or parktronic?

No, as long as the new grill is compatible with the Distronic cruise control sensor it'll work, i swapped mine to a a single slat grill the cruise worked fine.

Ya I'm looking for a single bar grill that will fit a 2007 SL65 AMG I wonder what the difference is between an AMG and non AMG grill as far as fitment goes.

A non-AMG grill is tilted more than an AMG
