Angry Front Mesh

Some a-hole stole my front mesh grill.

Would anyone happen to have (and want to sell) the front center mesh? I just wanted to check here before I went to the stealer.

BTW it is a 2005. Thanks in advance.

I'm referring to the air grill in the center near the fog lights (not the large chrome one). This is black, and it is clipped on.

yeah, I know, the wire mesh grill in the bottom... wife's E63 had it bent last time becuase parked next to a parking bump with metal rod sticking out and cracked the front bumper... had to get a replacement from the dealer. I saw the bottom clip but the whole thing is just cliped in??? wow... next time if I need a new one, I can just find another E63 and.... just kidding! Hope you find a cheap replacement.

Guys sorry for the mis-communication. I do NOT have mesh grilles for sale. I just tried to make a joke bcs the person in front of me said this was the SECOND thread about stolen mesh grilles.

I'm sure you can find them floating around for sale tho. Call the dealership! Call used car lots. Call junk yards. The Bay. Craigslist. Google it!


I hope you find what you're looking for!

Why not make your own wire mesh grille?

I made my own grille about a year ago, and it turned out great.

http://www.bwire.com/

I got my mesh from those guys in New Jersey, they had just the right mesh and they had it in stock ready to ship. Its really not hard to cut this kind of material, and to form it to your own shape. Just buy it yourself and its much cheaper that way.

Feel your pain, they stole all 3 of my grills, new HID foglights ballasts, side markers, and broke my parking sensors.

I actually got everything fixed very cheap and will be selling an entire Silver front clip newly painted full of lights, Real carbon fiber spoiler, grills and everything else that was replaced brand new to make room for the 63 conversion.


It was easier to fix my old stuff to get the insurance checks, then work on the new 63 bumper after I got the money from them.

I will post when the full front clip is for sale, might part it out as well.

LOL!! Same thing here. Wife + E63 + parking block = Bent grill and scraped bumper.

Now I just need to figure out how to replace the grill. Were they expensive?
