Single Slat grill for R230 SL
There's a particular web site that sells single slat grills as well as a few other styles for the 03-06 R230 SL. I used to have it but I can't seem to find it.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I'm pretty sure it's somewhat of a well known site, I'm just not able to locate it at the moment. I think they sell them around $250. The site has a black background. Thanks in advance. |
Got mine from these folks. Super fast shipping and good quality parts.
Ebay item # 360296501263 |
I'm pretty sure the site you are referring to is called: eBay

Try www.55tech.com

I have a single fin grill from 55tech. The grill have good quality and fits and looks nice, but it do not work so good with the distronic. It works on and off, and I often get a message saying "clean the sensor".

Anybody find a site for a 2007-2008 R230? I accidentally bought the one for the 2003-2006 and it absolutely doesn't fit.

Here's the 55tech grill. It's with matte black vinyl, but it is the type with chrome fins.

Is it easy to swap out?

Aftermarket grill question
Does this one work with Distronic? Got my answer - DOES NOT....
|
Can anyone please post pics on a silver or light color SL..thanks...yes its easy to swap out , four bolts on top i think.
|
I have histrionic. I replaced star(straight swap out) with grill type and cut out the inside distronic works like a charm
|
I honestly think the 3 slat sport grill on the 2007-2008 SL's look best.
The single slat grill can look great from some angles but really awkward from other angels. That said, I have the single slat grill on my car. I also think painting the 4 slat grill black (but leaving the emblem chrome) looks sick. My old 2006 SL55 with painted grill: http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/a...w/IMG_0107.jpg My current 2004 SL600 with 1 slat grill (carbon fiber tape covers the chrome part of the slats): http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/a...sbmw/front.jpg |
I agree on the oddness of the 1 slat and the three slat is best, just doesnt fit on my 05. Mine is actually painted black chrome ( dark grey) and REALLY looks good and makes star stand out, just thinking of a change.

I'm gonna necro-bump this thread..
I just ordered a single slat grill from ebay, and wanted to put in a shameless plug for user jakuo. Despite some complications on my end with the order, everything was handled promptly and professionally. Shipping was extremely quick, Jason was a pleasure to deal with. If you're looking for a single slat grill, hit him up: http://stores.ebay.com/jakuo/MB-R230...=p4634.c0.m322 or http://stores.ebay.com/5th-gear I'll post some pics once it's installed. Jeremy |

Somebody should make the newer 07 three-slats grille that will fit 03-06 model (the bottom one here):

Gene, it pains me how beautiful your car is! It's actually a big reason that I went with the single slat grill, and I'm also looking for CLK BS rims now..

just bought the silver grill off ebay here.
They didn't make an option with black mesh so I painted it using Rustoleum Universal 2-in-1 spray paint (Primer + Paint) http://s1369.photobucket.com/user/ww...tml?sort=3&o=4 http://s1369.photobucket.com/user/ww...tml?sort=3&o=3 http://s1369.photobucket.com/user/ww...tml?sort=3&o=2 http://s1369.photobucket.com/user/ww...tml?sort=3&o=1 http://s1369.photobucket.com/user/ww...tml?sort=3&o=0 |
