E55 facelifting problem
Hello guys,
I am a new owner of E55 Amg year 2003 and i have been trying to facelift it. I already got facelift amg front bumper. But now I am facing a big problem with the facelift grill because my car has the distronic system. There is a lot of options for the grill on ebay but none of them wont't fit because of the distronic. I've been searching from ebay and all other places, but I am not able to find a facelift grill with the distronic plate. I could buy it straight from my dealer but the price for the grill is 650 euros and for the distronic plate about 350 euros. That s a quite lot of money for plastic parts and i could get a normal amg replica grill from ebay for 150 euros.
So does anybody know where i could find one for reasonable price? Replica grill would also be just fine.
Thanks a lot for the help!

Cheapest is to buy Plastic Ebay facelift grill. Then use your existing distronic cover under the grill to protect the radar sensor. It works, I have tried it. That is the cheapest way to do it. Then you can take your time to look for alternatives.

Okay thanks a lot! So the plastic grill won't disturb the radar? Even if there is chrome on the grill? Or should I just buy a black one?
