07-08 Black 3 slat OEM grille on 03-06 SL55?

Hello fellow SL owners...i tried researching on here, and i couldnt find the answer...Sorry if its out there somewhere..

BUT, will the 07-08 OEM 3 slat black grille fit the 03-06 SL55? With or without the ones with the P030 front bumper?

I like the OEM 3 slat grille over the single slat you see on eBay..

Thanks in advance!

I thought I read on here somewhere that it won't fit, but I don't know why.

It does fit at the top, bit not at the bottom. You can fabricate a bracket or two to make it fit, but it looks a bit amateur to be honest!
