no, the old grille is ruined. all the bottom supports cracked and it is still in the fascia but it is not salvageable. a mesh grille would have to go over the original grille so that won't do. i've heard that an SLK mercedes grille may fit. that would be sweet. she is already debadged and has the ronal mercedes center caps. this would actually complete the "what is it" factor about it. any suggestions of a mercedes grille that may fit? thanks, benji
