I was in Benz World tonight, and saw this thread. And, here we are looking to replace our grills.

 

cobra... as they say, THE GRASS IS NEVER GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE...HUH!?

CAN YOU POST THE LINK THAT YOU FOUND THIS ON?

THANKS

SORRY COBRA... WHEN I DOWNLOADED THE MB/XF PIC I SAW THE BENZWORLD.COM LINK.


THX AGAIN FOR THAT POSTING... NICE but IRONIC FIND!!!

Wow!! I bet that's "One of One". I have to admit, the owner of that SLK must have big brass ones, because I bet he gets "blasted" by his fellow MB owners for that mod.

 

So now this brings up the question I have had for a while. Will the SLK grill fit our cars? Opens up a lot more options if it does. Oh, and they won't admit it, but those posers at the MB boards like a lot of the parts from our cars. Things like dash buttons, speedo unit and other trim pieces. I have read of many owners swapping parts from the Crossfire.

And you are so right, it is definitely a grass is greener kind of thing.

 

This grill fitting that good makes sense because our cars are the same nuts and bolts inside a different cover! The grill bolts on the top and they made it fit there existing internal patterns such as the inside frame mounts!

 

I think I like it better on the slk! One thing I noticed on the slk is it looks like he taped off the silver and painted the background satin black - I did this on my car recently and it's kind of amazing what a difference it makes - It's not truly hideous anymore! The stock universal grey really enhanced the squashed minivan effect.

Imho, Ben

 

Nah - It looks out of place on that car...he shoulda bought a Crossfire if he wanted to look like one!

Well like they say, there is no accounting for taste.

 

Hey, didn't we just helped our cousins (Merc) get a new grill?
