Paying homage and tribute to the AMG’s of 70’s and 80’s by putting a body colored grill.

Nice, always loved the black grills!! I think I'm going to do that to mine, although mine is silver.

What paint did you use btw?

The monochrome black always looks nice. Now I recommend getting flat hood emblem to make the front end look more sporty. nice job.

Very Nice. This is my top priority as soon as I can find a salvage grill from a 320 or 430 in good shape.
