I would get the grill from the dealer, as they are not too expensive and cost close to e-bay prices

PerisanGodFatha

I bought this one, and have it on my car now. Good fit and finish. No problems so far after about three months.

The dealer does not sell flat black or even shiny black grills.

I got one through Stealthauto (forum sponsor), but it warped after about 6 months. It would have been cool, except they act all shocked and say this is an anomoly. My car must be a true beast.

I say give Ebay a shot and let me know, cause I need a new one too.

PerisanGodFatha

got any pics of it on your car?

i asked this question a while back and one of the guys on here suggested getting the stock grill painted. that way you know the fit/finish will work.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about the lower mesh grill

No the dealers don't sell painted front grills, but like jangy mentioned a couple of sponsors here do

Will post one on Tuesday.

Thats what I did, just took it to a body shop and told them to paint it.

Here's a shot of the grille I linked to earlier as installed on my car:

Looks pretty good, but I think would look even better on a white or silver car

komp55

Wifey says it "looks sinister" on a black car. I'd agree it would probably look best on a white car. Not so sure about silver.

I think glossy black would look better on balck car...

PerisanGodFatha

wow looks like it has a GREAT FIT...
alot of people that have painted an OEM Chrome grill black say it chips after awhile unless you sand down the chrome and all that stuff, then paint it...

Matte black looks cool, and later on you can get it painted for that glossy black finish...

are any of the ones i Posted any good, Im thinking all those grills come form the same manufacture just being sold by diffrent people....

Any sponsors on here with available Matte black w211 grills?

komp55

Here's where to buy the one in the picture:

When I bought mine, it was the only one available in matte black for the W211 at the time. Looks like there are other choices now, but I don't know if the others are of the same fit and quality.

StealthAuto

We had the black grills available for many months but production ceased about 6-months ago. We're hoping to have a few hundred W211 matte black grills arriving in the near future.
