Already done for you. I've dealt with the seller before and he is good.

Now thats a tasteful grill!

Ron Jr · 07-17-2009, 11:40 AM

Same person that sold me the SL grill. But did you see the all chrome version of the sport? YUCK.

bigigg · 07-17-2009, 11:41 AM

Looks just like a stock grille except the benz emblem has mesh on it.. I like

JamesB C300 · 07-17-2009, 11:46 AM

Sweet grill. Does anyone have a pic of it installed?

It must be brand new it showed up on E-bay for the first time yesterday (I didn't go onto E-bay till today) so no one has one yet. I know when I purchased the SL grill he asked for pics of it installed.

And that differs from the stock grill how?

qwqwerertyty · 07-17-2009, 04:01 PM

i wonder if this will hv the chipping issue...

Derspeed · 07-17-2009, 04:03 PM

It's too glossy. I used a matte finish for mine. BTW, It's been over a year and I have no chips.

If the paint is the same as on the SL grill I wouldn't worry.

2tonOfun · 07-17-2009, 11:13 PM

I do like that.
I noticed yesterday that my grill has a small crack in it (after 7,000 miles).

alexlev · 07-17-2009, 11:26 PM

It would probably be cheaper to have it painted at a body shop . .

well the grille you posted is the same as stock looks like.. but the 1 ron posted is a little different, if you look close at the benz emblem.. its not hollow it has mesh on the inside of the benz star..

Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me but the grille looks identical to our stock grilles. It looks to me that the star is hollow with mesh in the back.

dansonchan · 07-18-2009, 12:34 AM

do anyone hv sport grill in white?
any pic?please!?!?

Well I know that . .

My post was in regards to the difference in "mesh" between our stock grille and the one posted on ebay. I should have clarified that the mesh looks identical to our stock one, rather than the grille itself.

vic viper · 07-18-2009, 02:59 AM

The grills pictured above are no 204 grills, looks more like 211

You're not going to see the mesh once it is installed, because behind the grill is dark.

tehc300 · 07-22-2009, 04:51 PM

I just bought the one Ron linked on Ebay last Sat and it showed up on my door Tuesday. The quality looks pretty damn good along with the paint.

Gonna install it today and I should have pics shortly.

Thanks Ron for the link!

Ron Jr · 07-22-2009, 04:58 PM

No problem. Please post pics when you can.

NJBNZ · 07-22-2009, 06:55 PM

So is that grill painted or does it use black plastic?

If it is like the SL one he sells it is painted. I put over 1000 miles with the SL on and no chips.

tehc300 · 07-22-2009, 07:22 PM

Its painted. Looks like some good quality though. hopefully no rock chips

burnteggroll · 07-23-2009, 01:27 PM
