W203 4 slat Starless grille project

MiKeSSw203 · 09-14-2009, 08:28 PM

Ok working on a project and trying to get an idea of how many W203 owners would be interested in a grille like this in either FRP or Carbon. I won't be personally selling these, just trying to finally bring a decent aftermarket grille to production in the w203 community so that people stop making half ass attempts in trying to make their own custom grille or people w/ the star grilles can finally replace them.

I currently have the same grille that was used to make the custom grille below. Notice the frame doesn't come all the way out to the surface and the top slat bevels in at the top. If their is enough interest I can pass it on to a company to do a multiple piece run.

So if you are interested or have any feedback please reply

the top coners cut down at a slight angle at the back of the top fin, probably so the grille can slide into place easier on installation w/ little flex. Normally on Mercedes that have this type of grille i.e. (C coupes, CLS, W209, W204's) have them attached to the bumper not the hood. So when you pop the hood they do not go up w/ the hood like the W203 does.
