211 Distronic install completed by Steve

Yep, it works as it should from the factory.... with all factory parts in place.

It's not a cheap install but neither is the option from the factory...very worth it in my opinion. Increased fun and safety both.

(Anyone want to buy a stock front grille from a 211 in great shape????)

Give Steve a shout for a price quote if you are interested, YMMV.

Are you selling just the grille, or the entire front bumper?

How much for the grill? I might would buy it and get it painted black to have a mint one.

so the distronic plus won't work?... that's unfortunate...

another question is can the distronic with the SL/CL-style grill be retrofitted on the E?
