Facelifted W211 BLACK GRILL
I'm getting ready to do the E63 Conversion on my wagon and I really want a gloss black, color matched grill. My body shop, who is very competent, says even after etching and primer, the paint won't hold up very well. He said I should find a black plastic one if I can. Does this exist? Thanks for the input!

Really? I'm not a noob to the car world or modding, I've gone down nearly every avenue I know of. I feel like I've been to the end of Ebay and back and I've found the ugly huge emblem grill in black, a carbon fiber and even a flat black non facelifted grill...But no facelifted flat black grill.
If someone can point me in the direction of said elusive grill. I'd greatly appreciate it.

I was told the same pre facelift and facelift by my shop and I told them just do what I said..
turned out perfect and holding up great always.
